Question: filter syntax with verbatim text

[n1441]

I have a filter specified as /avatar/ and get uBlock triggered by https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=avatar or any other avatar text in the URI, but expected it to be triggered by something like e.g. domain/avatar/file.extension only. I've looked at https://adblockplus.org/en/filter-cheatsheet and https://adblockplus.org/filters for description of such behaviour, but couldn't find anything related. Could you comment on this?

You'll have to specify it as /avatar/* otherwise the filter will be interpreted as a regex.

Correct, thank you!
