Default Search and replace wildcards

This wildcard search criteria "This document*2019." will return any text that begins with "This document" and ends with "2019" whatever is between
Is there a way to avoid chr(13) or limit the wildcard to a maximum number of characters?


Thank's.

Try:
"This document[!^13]@2019."
