support for wildcardUnix regularExpression in filterBar

WildCardUnix allows only
* - matches zero or more of any characters
? - matches exactly one character
[..] - like normal regular expressions
\ - to escape characters with special meaning
I have enabled WildCardUnix regular expressions, we can change it in rx.setPatternSyntax
