Sorry, I did not mean a wildcard but a middot (·), the mail software 
seems to have misinterpreted the character. On my wiki, I use middot as a 
camouflage of ­ in the wikitext to mark silent syllable breaks. This works 
quite well, but the drawback is: the search engine no longer finds the term.

Can you be more specific about what you need? Is there a specific
logic to where the wildcard should be inserted?

The general case (finding "example", "*example", "e*xample",
"ex*ample", "exa*mple", etc.) would likely be quite expensive.
