A character string representing multiple domain name labels MAY be concatenated to the end of the search pattern to limit the scope of the search.  For example, the search pattern "exam*" will match "example.com" and "example.net".  The search pattern "exam*.com" will match "example.com".  If an asterisk appears in a search string, any label that contains the non-asterisk characters in sequence plus zero or more characters in sequence in place of the asterisk would match. Additional pattern matching processing is beyond the scope of this specification.

A character string representing [a domain label suffix] MAY be concatenated to the end of the search pattern to limit the scope of the search.  For example, the search pattern "exam*" will match "example.com" and "example.net".  The search pattern "exam*.com" will match "example.com".  If an asterisk appears in a search string, any label that contains the non-asterisk characters in sequence plus zero or more characters in sequence in place of the asterisk would match. [Only a single asterisk is allowed for a partial string search.] Additional pattern matching processing is beyond the scope of this specification.

My opinion is that allowing one or more asterisks in partial matching 
should be a matter of the server policy.
