Elasticsearch search query issue with wildecard and non letter characters

Hi,

Just evaluating the elastic search for a new component and having some
failed scenario with wildcards when the data has characters like below.

"abc..."
"a-b-c"

When i search for abc* in the query it returns all. But when i search for
abc.* (including a dot which is in the data) it did not return any data.
Any hints how to handle things like this? I tried to query via query string
as well as sending as JSON object with wildcard tag. both returns same
failed output.

GET /abc/person/_search?q=name:abc.*

GET /abc/person/_search{query" : {"wildcard": {"name": {"value": "abc.*"}}}}

My person object in the elastic search is like {person{"name":"abc..."}}
Appreciate a view!
