 							*wildcard*
 Wildcards in {file} are expanded.  Which wildcards are supported depends on
 the system.  These are the common ones:
-	*	matches anything, including nothing
 	?	matches one character
+	*	matches anything, including nothing
+	**	matches anything, including nothing, recurses into directories
 	[abc]	match 'a', 'b' or 'c'
+
 To avoid the special meaning of the wildcards prepend a backslash.  However,
 on MS-Windows the backslash is a path separator and "path\[abc]" is still seen
 as a wildcard when "[" is in the 'isfname' option.  A simple way to avoid this
 is to use "path\[[]abc]".  Then the file "path[abc]" literally.

 The file searching is currently used for the 'path', 'cdpath' and 'tags'
 options.  There are three different types of searching:

+1) Downward search:					*starstar*
    Downward search uses the wildcards '*', '**' and possibly others
    supported by your operating system.  '*' and '**' are handled inside Vim, so
    they work on all operating systems.
