Is there a way to list all files in Nautilus on Ubuntu 18.04 using a query like "star dot star" in Windows? I've checked other questions like this on Ask Ubuntu and they all lead me down rabbit holes which end up nowhere (e.g. use the edit menu in Nautilus...err...what edit menu?)

Thanks for any help.

Short answer: no.

Current versions of nautilus feature "Search". The search facility does not, however, support wildcards. As such, it is not possible to list all files in the current folder and in subfolders that match a wildcard pattern.

Nautilus supports wildcards in its file selection feature. For example, Ctrl+s followed by *.* and Enter will select all files in the current folder with an extension.
