Engines

Simple search

Basic string-matching search engine. Enabled by default.

Glob-based search

More powerful search engine for advanced users. It is simple to use and faster than the regex engine. Enabled by default.

Pattern	Description
*	Matches zero or more characters.
?	Matches exactly one character (any character).
[...]	Matches one character from a group of characters. If the first character is !, it matches any character not in the group.
\	Escapes the following character.

info

Expansion {a,b,c} is not available because it is not supported by the underlying base image (Alpine Linux). Globstar ** is not supported by PHP natively.
