Description
This is more of a future enhancement, but it would be nice if text filter supports wildcards. From a customer:
E.g. ERC* only finds things that begin with ERC
nnnABC begins with 3 numbers
B?B - search for bob, bib, brb, etc. any letter in between the B's
Currently, TextFilter uses applyJSONFilter, and that only really supports equals, contains and starts with operators (and their counterparts does not ) for text fields, so we cannot implement at this time.

Research direction
Start by reading the TextFilter implementation and its use of applyJSONFilter to understand the current text operators and their limitations. Compare the desired behavior with the examples ERC*, nnnABC, and B?B; done should include defined wildcard matching for these patterns, including the relevant negative operators if supported.
