You can also index the file names with a leading character. For instance index "file1.exe" will be indexed as "_file1.exe" and always add the leading character to the search term. So if the user input is "*.exe" your query should be "_*.exe" and if the user input "fi*" you'll change it to "_fi*"
Now that is a much neater solution than mine. Does this cause problems with unbalanced indexes or anything as all terms begin with the same character?
