<snip>

[...] in regular expressions specify a character class, where [abc]
matches 1 letter only, which can be one of a, b or c.

In other words: [Microsoft.*] would match uppercase M, lowercase i, c,
r, o, s, f, t, a dot, or an asterix (ie. one of those, not all of them
together). Your regular expression is thus 4 characters long, where the
first character can be one of "Microsft.*" (o appears twice), the next
is one of "KingSoft.*", etc. A valid match could be "MKSO" or "M.cl" etc.

If your goal is to match: Microsoft, or Kingsoft, or Symantec, or
Oracle, any of those followed by anything else, the correct regex
expression would be:

"(Microsoft|Kingsoft|Symantec|Oracle).*"

Hope that helps.
