It would be nice if we could use wildcards to preview results in Home Assistant’s built-in search combo box.

Currently, if I use the search string above I get these results from Home Assistant version core-2021.7.3:
I would like to see results closer to the following list (minus the first two entries that don’t fit my previously specified pattern):

You can still use the quick search avalaible with “e” keybord shorcut. The search is is fuzzy style search : you could use for example “ubed”

Could you give a practical example? For example, I’m in settings->automations and I want to find all automation with “motion detected” and “off” in their name using the search bar.
