Asterisks are not always displayed properly in links in the Wiki.

### How do I search for "of" followed by words ending in "ing" without any intervening words?

It's on this page.

After a quick look at the source code of the wiki, I guess the wiki uses markdown for formatting (in your screenshot the part between the two asterisks is italicized).

You probably need to escape them with backslashes:

* [of NEAR/1 \*ing -"\*ing of"] ...

Yes, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I thought that I'd try that.

Perhaps things that need to be escaped should be listed along with the other info on formatting text.

Underscores need to be escaped, too.
