I'm trying to do a wildcard search for a single word followed by a colon at
the beginning of a line.

Based on the following article, I thought the correct syntax for this would
be "*:".

When I try to search for *: with wildcards switched on, I get a result
that I didn't expect, so that in something like

text text text
name: text text

the highlighting is from * to * as in the following:

*text text text
name:* text text

If I then search for the next one, I get

text *text text
name:* text text

and so on, until only the name is highlighted.

Searching for * seems to work but the colon after the seems to mess
things up. *: doesn't match anything, and putting a \ before the colon
*\: doesn't work either.

[The Word version I have is in Japanese but I don't think this is a Japanese
Word-specific issue.]

What should I be doing?
