Given the following non-wildcard query:

(or http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?node[name=San Francisco])

Is there a way to query this way:

(or http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?node[name=San*])

… and getting results like “San Francisco”, “San Jose”, …

The example above is actually not working, just used it to explain my needs.

Thanks
