Sorry, down is a substring of download I don't get your point either?

Substring is not string.

If they were interchangeable, then "D" & "d" should be too.

[–] Feyter@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

down matches down* because * also includes empty string. Also download matches down*

D matches D* but d is not matching D* because D is a different character than d.
