Query by identifiers can be done by

• full identifiers
• partial identifiers using wildcards ('?' = one char, '*' = any string, including an empty one (no char), '[xyz]' = one char among the list.
  Examples:
  

  HD *0000	returns all HD objects having the HD identifier ending with 4 zeros
  HD 10?	returns HD 100, 101, ..., 109.

  If an identifier contains a wildcard character (i.e. '**'), these characters must be escaped by a backslash (\) to avoid them to be interpreted as a wildcard.
  Example: \*\* *AB

• query around an object, with a radius definition
• a whole catalogue.
• Query by lists of objects
