RDAP /entities Wildcard Behavior

[BourgeoisBear]

Given a wildcard query as described in:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9082#section-3.2.3

for a query of the pattern:

https://rdap.db.ripe.net/entities?fn=DIGITALOCEAN*

there is only one result:

EH3832-RIPE

but the same query without the wildcard:

https://rdap.db.ripe.net/entities?fn=DIGITALOCEAN

returns a larger result:

DI2361-RIPE
DI2362-RIPE
EH3832-RIPE
ORG-DOI2-RIPE
PT7353-RIPE

I would expect the wildcard to return the larger result. As-is, RIPE's RDAP behavior is the opposite of ARIN's. The result is the same whether the asterisk is URL-encoded or not. I chose the non-encoded version since that is how the RFC specified the query.
