What's New

New Feature: Wildcard (Asterisk) Search

Add an asterisk (*) to a search query to switch tab search from fuzzy matching to literal substring ("contains") matching.

Behavior

  • insta* matches the contiguous substring insta anywhere — Instagram, My Instagram Feed, even mid-word like businstall
  • Position-independent: insta*, *insta, and *insta* all mean the same thing ("contains insta")
  • Case-insensitive, with every occurrence highlighted
  • It's the precision counterpart to fuzzy: matches substrings that exact mode rejects (burger*hamburger), and rejects the scattered matches fuzzy accepts (gthb* finds nothing in "GitHub")
  • Quotes still win: "insta*" is an exact whole-word search for a literal insta*
  • Unquoted, asterisk-free queries still use fuzzy search; quoted queries still use exact whole-word search
  • Search placeholder now hints at the feature
