Confluence wildcard (* and ?) prefix search not working

When we try to execute a wildcard search in our confluence instance using a prefix of * or ? we do not receive any results. For example, "*ale" or "?ale" returns no results, even though we do have documents that have the word "sale" within. There are no other filters added on the search criteria. I am seeing the same behavior on our testing instance. Is there any setting in the admin console for this or has anybody else dealt with this issue?

What version of Confluence are you using? Have you tried the content reindex?

Using 5.4.3. A content re-index did not change the results of the search with a wild card. I recently (about a week ago) also built the indices from scratch. That was prior to this issue being discovered, but I am fairly sure this is the first time we have tried this type of complex searching.
