I understand we can use * to say that a string strings with or ends with something. But I frequently run into situations where a phrase have multiple spellings where the hyphen is optional. So it could be "multi-polar" or "multipolar" or "multi polar". Is there anyway to search for all these possibilities without typing a bunch of OR's? Ideally, we can use something like [multi?polar], where the ? could mean any character or no character. I can use that syntax if I use regex, but regex won't allow me to combine OR logic in a Foxtrot query.
