With regard to the search stuff, I see we can supply a wildcard to indicate ‘match all strings’. Can we supply a wildcard in a more regex-y way?

I’d like to search something like `prefix-*match*`

No unfortunately. It's just a `*` or a keyword

Regex search is really hard to do in a performant way, because the list of strings it could match is infinite, and we'd essentially have to scan the whole dataset to find matches (which is similar to what `LIKE %%` does in SQL for eg)

Absolutely. Thank you for explaining. I’ll keep trying to figure out how best to search our data.
