"*w*w*w*.**e*r*o*t*i*k*.*t*v.*t*r" is the actual text?
Well, then escape all * to \* and all . to \.
so: \*w\*w\*w\*\.\*\*e\*etc.....

makes me wonder if people actually go visit that link if they have to type it manually ;).

(on a sidenote, in next unreal there will be an additional shorter/easier method)

The new version of the regexp library we use supports a "quoting" mechanism (it works like vi). So you would be able to do:

\Q*w*w*w*.**e*r*o*t*i*k*.*t*v.*t*r\E

And it would treat everything between the \Q and \E as plaintext.
