When using matchWildcards search in Word, the search API results and search box results differently

Your Environment

Expected behavior

the text is four _ , i want to serach middle tow 's range set the document text is '__' , now i search '', the word app(windows/mac) normal search is two results([1,2], [3,4]), when i use advance search, it's tree results([1,2]|[2,3]|[3,4]). and when i search by api like `context.document.body.search("", { matchWildcards: true })`, it's two results([1,2][3,4]). i expect it's three results like word app advance search, because i want to find the range concat by second and three _

Current behavior

word search api return two results

Steps to reproduce

  1. set document text is '____'
  2. search "" by matchWildcards `Word.run(async (context) => { // Construct a wildcard expression and set matchWildcards to true in order to use wildcards. const results: Word.RangeCollection = context.document.body.search("", { matchWildcards: true }); results.load("length"); await context.sync(); console.log('results', results.items) await context.sync(); })`
  3. the console print is two results
