Description Paul Pazderski CLA 2019-07-18 04:22:35 EDT 
Bug 531746 added substring matches for the editor search filter (Ctrl+E) by prefixing the search string with '*' if the search string is not start with a pattern character. This logic interprets dot ('.') as pattern character but the backing SearchPattern class does not. As consequence the substring matches do not work if the input starts with a dot which is IMO incomprehensible for a user.
