`_`	(the underscore) is the placeholder for exactly one character.
`%`	(the percent sign) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character.
`%%`	(two percent signs) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character, but not for blank space (so that a search ends at word boundaries).

At the beginning and at the end, these placeholders are superfluous.

⟨I.3⟩ Cap. III. De potestate erraticarum stellarum

Sol deprehensus est in calefaciendo et mediocriter exsiccando substantiae habere efficientiam. Fiunt autem hec maxime pre aliis nobis sensibilia et propter ipsius magnitudinem et ob temporum manifestas mutationes, nam quo magis loco qui ~~est~~ nobis est supra verticem appropinquat eo magis nos sic afficit.
