You must check "Use Wildcards" - but then you can use "?" (without the caret) for any single character and "*" for any number of characters.

For others that read this later ...
When "Use wildcards" is checked, certain characters have special meanings - in this case "<" and ">" and to look for the character itself rather than have it specially interpreted, it needs 'escaping', thus ...
