StreamSearch is a really a great library and I even wrote an extension to it called

[niron1]

"MultiStreamSearch" which allow you to provide variations of the needles for each step and it will automatically create a series of interconnected StreamSearches that will handle all permutations. however, one think that I think would be very helpful is to support wildcards in needles. any idea if it can be done?

No idea offhand.
