Summary: Search wildcards use spans words and verses

Initial Comment:
In the Handbook: 'Searching in works / Search
configuration / Basic Search Syntax Introduction' it is
written: You can use wildcards: '*' matches any
sequence of characters, while '?' matches any single
character. 

I tried this out by searching for s*d in the GermElb1905
The result shows (e.g. GEN 1), that this search is not
limited by word-boundaries: It looks for a character s
and then for a character d in any of the following
words. And the characters between s and d are sometimes
marked in yellow, sometimes not. In addition, the
results are not systematic, there are verses, where a s
is followed by a d, but which is not marked as result. 

Trying this out with searching for w*z in GermElb1905,
the result GEN 10:29-30 shows, that the sequence
seperated by * can span several verses.

-> let wildcards only work within words.

The mistake was not the search itself, it always had 
correct hits (such as "Wohnsitz"), but the highlighting was 
broken. This is fixed now in CVS and will be in the next 
released version.
