Forticlient WebFilter Match Behaviour

[shocko]

We are using Forticlient EMS 7.2.4 and Forticlient 7.2.4 on Windows 10 22 H2 Enterprise. Our web filter rules have a mix of Simple, Wildcard and RegEx based rules. Reading the documentation here it not clear to me how the match is performed. It states it matches against a URL and strictly speaking a URL has 10 parts as per https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/url-spec.txt. 

So is the entire URL considered for each matching type ? For example consider this URL:

- https://example.com/path?name=Branch&products=[Highs,Lows,Journeys,Email,Universal%20Ad

- Would a simple match for H match https://example.com/path?name=Branch&products=[Highs,Lows,Journeys,Email,Universal%20Ad

- Would a wildcard match for p*a match the https://example.com/path?name=Branch&products=[Highs,Lows,Journeys,Email,Universal%20Ad
