(question mark), "+" (plus mark), "."(dot) and "\" (backslash).
I was planning on hiding the regular expression search check box by default and adding a check box to the EESchema configuration dialog to expose it in the find dialog. I want to avoid any confusion of having a disabled control in find dialog for the typical user. I only see regular expressions being useful to a very small percentage of Kicad users. I'm not sure a tooltip would be useful in this situation. If you don't understand regular expressions, can you really put enough useful information on how to use them in a tooltip?
Leaving default behaviour with * and ? may require some escape character and should accept "?" in annotations.
Escape characters are getting dangerously close to regular expressions which I want to avoid as the default behavior. I am suggesting that a check box be added to enable or disable simple wildcard pattern searching. Anything more than that is probably overkill for the average user.
