I was wondering if wildcards (*) and stopwords were applied to properties.

In particular I'm trying to allow the user to limit their search based 
on a path. They have a drop down menu which which gives them some paths 
to choose from. Then I modify the path so that it's the same as the web 
path (while indexing using ExtractPath) and put it in a property named 
category.

I then use this in my search string. So I can end up with something like 
this...
	category=/news/*

When I use this to search (in my form and from the command line) it 
almost works, but I end up with some results that don't match, like this

	/chapter/newsletters

Also, when I try a search like this
	category=/about/*
I get 0 results. I expect it's cause 'about' is in my stop words list.

Are these behaviors expected? If so, anyone have any ideas on how to do 
what I want? Thanks
