In regex form: Ols(o|e)n or Ols.n (for any one character not just o and e). As a BASH pattern match Ols[oe]n or Ols?n In a windows search dialog: Ols?n And if you really wanna be sloppy Ols*n will of course work in all of those but the regex which would need to look like Ols.*n but you wouldn't want to do that anyway because that matches any number of chars.

Any real regex engine will recognize "ols[oe]n" as a shorthand for "ols(o|e)n". Some attention to detail, Andy.
