Wild Card Footprint Editor Not Working

Hi I am trying to use wildcards for my database and I am having issues with the catalog number. 

I am unable to find this range when searching so I had to add each individually to get it to work. What is wrong with the way I have this typed out?

25B-D[4-6]P0N114

Here is a screenshot from the database and you can see how I had to add each individually.

@ (At)

. (Period)

* (Asterisk)

Matches any string and can be used anywhere in the search string

? (Question mark)

Matches any single character; for example, ?BC matches ABC, 3BC, and so on

~ (Tilde)

Matches anything but the pattern; for example; ~*AB*matches all strings that don't contain AB

[ ]

Matches any one of the characters enclosed; for example, [AB]C matches AC and BC

[~]

Are you sure that you're not expecting too much out of this software? 

You can find the available wildcards here:
