This should be possible. Depending on what search option you use, you can try the following:

- single file search (Find (and Replace)): enter GEST in the search field and tick the "regular expression" checkbox

- structured multiple file search: in all tabs case insensitive substring search is the default, so just entering GEST in any of the search field should do. If you want to make sure you only find glosses starting with GEST, you could select "regular expression" matching (maybe even case sensitive) and enter ^GEST as the search query

Note that "*" and "?" wildcards are not regular expressions. As Han wrote, you could search for the regular expression "^GEST" to find things starting with "GEST". The regular expression counterparts for "*" and "?" are ".*" and ".", respectively. There should also be a topic about this in the help system.
