Use wildcards in Basic search

As known, we already can utilize basic searching to search for arbitrary, non-alphanumerical phrases like /"- [ ]".

How much effort would it be to provide wildcard support inside these searches, similar to the current filter syntax (e.g. sourceurl:*joplinapp.org)?

Motivation case: Search for all img tags, that currently still link to an external URL.

I would love to search something akin to:

/"<img*src=\"http*\""

The first * is necessary to find img elements, where any attribute precedes src.
