Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior: When trying to query an index and excluding with wildcard, the first wildcard exclude is not excluded.

Given the indices tatiana, virginia and alina, the expected result of GET tatiana,-ta* is nothing, while the actual response includes the index tatiana. However, GET tatiana,-al*,-ta* will not include tatiana.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create an index:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/tatiana/1 -d '{
 "title": "test document"
}'

2. GET the index tatiana and remove (exclude) all indices that begin with ta*
curl -XGET localhost:9200/tatiana,-ta*
