How many wildcards are used in Splunk?

For example:

I know there is ... and *, both of which are used in the monitor stanza.

The * is also used in general search with SPL, but those are the only two that I know of.

Are there any others? Seems like I read somewhere that there are three total wildcards that are used, but I may be wrong.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
