You can use * as a wild card but it looks like what you want is 
regular expressions which aren't supported. You could probably search 
for 'happen* to me'.

I've always found it pretty straightforward to search groups and 
normally don't need wild cards because MPro will search for the search 
string anywhere in the specified header or body.

The only niggle is if you search an outgoing group the results show 
the sender (me) and not the recipient, unless you change the columns 
of course.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
