Summary: Use of wildcards not consistent

Initial Comment:
Using of wildcards ? and * is possible in BT (BT 1.6.2) using the clucene search engine (0.9.16a).

Here are some test-results of this:
Searching in GermElb1905/Matthew for:

- her : finds all the words her: OK

- her* : finds
-- Herrn, Herodes, hervorkommen : OK
-- welcher, himmlischer: not OK

- *her : does not find anything

- he*r : finds
-- himmlischer, her, Heuchler, Herr : OK
-- herabgestiegen, herzu, Herodes, not OK

- h?er : finds all the hier, but they are not marked in yellow (by contrast in Mat 28:6 it marks her in yellow)

- her? : finds 
-- Herr :unmarked
- her : marked (I would not expect this hit as I understand ? to be a one-place-joker in contrast to * which can be 0,1 or a more places-joker (as the following example shows):

- ?ehr : finds
-- mehr,sehr : OK (only it should be marked)
