[ckan-dev] wild card search works not as expected

[Heinrich Widmann]

'*' stands for multiple (zero or more) sequential characters , but '?' 
just for one single character, see e.g.
http://docs.lucidworks.com/display/solr/The+Standard+Query+Parser

Actually 'europ*' seems to work reasonable (returns 626 datasets)
