When working on the International Characters, Document Footer, Parse
HTML, and Cache Control Directives pages of Web Manager and your Web
server, you will find a drop-down box at the top of each page. It works the
same for each of these features.
The drop-down list and associated Browse button let you select specific
resources to be configured.
From the drop-down list, you select a resource to be configured. You can click
Browse to browse your primary document directory, Options to choose other
directories, and Wildcard to configure files with a specific extension.
In many parts of the server configuration, you specify wildcard patterns to
represent one or more items to configure. Note that the wildcards for access
control and text search might be different from those discussed in this section.
Wildcard patterns use special characters. If you want to use one of these
characters without the special meaning, precede it with a backslash (\)
character.

Use
Match zero or more characters.
Match exactly one occurrence of any character.
An or expression. The substrings used with this operator
can contain other special characters such as an asterisk (*)
or a dollar sign ($). The substrings must be enclosed in
parentheses—for example—(a|b|c), but the parentheses
cannot be nested.
Match the end of the string. This is useful in or expressions.
Match one occurrence of the characters a, b, or c. Within
these expressions, the only character that needs to be
treated as a special character is the right bracket ( ] ); all
others are not special.
