Conventionally, one wildcard in IMK matches exactly one input code. Especially, It makes no sense to match nothing and this only results in confusingly reordered candidates. Also, in most cases, users know exactly how long the input code would be and how many of them should be guessed by wildcard, using one wildcard to match multiple characters is also uncommon and, depending on sorting of dictionary, could even impede input. So, it shall be necessary to check the length of input code
