When Searching for documents in the Confluence free-text search box, a lot of documents are hard to find, when not KNOWING exactly what to search for.

In our case, we have a lot of settings. Their names are separated by a . (DOT), and it is extremely hard finding documents where these settings are mentioned, or where part of the words of the setting name are mentioned.

See below:

These cases matches my test-page

These does NOT find my page. I would like them all to find it!

I'd say, that searching for just PTCSC in this case should find my document.

Furthermore, searching for the end of a word does not seem to work either, in our case, "*.PTCSC.Suffix" does not find the document.

This is actually one of the reasons people at our organisation feels that Confluence might not be the best tool for documentation; it is hard to find documents with relevant content.

Yes. There are tags. We use those, but finding content is key.
