When I use the message finder in my TheBat 3.64.01 with these options (i.e. without escaping anything), the message is found just fine:

"Recipient" "Contains" "joseph*john"

Thank you! I have tried this specifically and it worked.

Did you specify the 'match' condition as explained in the URL shown? If you used the default of 'contains' it doesn't work.

Most likely due to the asterisk being a special character for search under regular expressions.
the back slash may escape iirc

replace the '*' with a '.' period which is any single character. If works then look at the help file for regular expression information.

And I found joseph*john replace the * with joseph.john is not working.

My problem is that I can't replace it and I have to search it with the asterisk. Is there any way to do this?

Why is it that when the character * (asterik) is used, results do not appear from using the Message Finder - search for?

For example, in Trash, I am trying to serach my mail for "joseph*john". The asterik is required because the sender ID has the asterik, it must be included. I know for a fact that the mail for this person exists, but it will not show in the results. Instead, it shows all of my old mail and not specifically the ones from "joseph*john".

How can I make the search option work with asteriks (joseph*john)?

Thank you.
