Note that ODF defines a <table:filter-condition> table:operator attribute with values 'match' and '!match' that use regular expressions, but does not define anything for wildcards, so this would need an ODF extension.
See https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument-v1.2-os-part1.html#__RefHeading__1418546_253892949

Does Excel handle wildcards in its filters?

In any case seems a hard task to do, so if you are agree can be closed as wontfix.
Comment 4 Eike Rathke 2018-12-04 18:32:20 UTC
Why close? It's a valid request.
Comment 5 m_a_riosv 2018-12-04 19:23:05 UTC
Of course can be valid, perhaps I misunderstood your comment.
