How can I use File Explorer Search to search in content using wildcards?

Having the files (the location is indexed):
text1.txt
art work

text2.txt
artwork

I want to find the 'work' in text2.txt

The following search terms do not find it:
*work
content:*work
content:"*work"
content:~<"work"

Using wildcards to search in FileNames does work fine.

Where is the File Exlorer search syntax documented by Mircrosoft?

The often Quoted Link to Advanced Query Syntax seems to be outdated (according to its first sentence).

Using Advanced Query Syntax Programmatically does not help either.

Most other links are either dead or the post do not talk about searching in content.
