Other than the fact that you seem to have proved to yourself that the asterisk makes no difference, what's your point ?
You make it sound like it's a good thing that a search for Shorts*, for example, returns nearly 600 results.
That completely ignores the fact that more than 90% of those 596 results are accidents/incidents involving light aircraft, corporate jets, helicopters, jet airliners, etc with absolutely no relevance to your search criterion.
Could you explain how exactly that's supposed to be of any use to anyone ?
