From the grep man-page:

PATTERN.
GNU grep is not a coreutil, so this isn't the best mailing list for grep questions.
What type of PATTERN can be used here (i.e. glob, regex, extended regex, etc.)?
I just tried a few patterns, and it seems to be glob-like, but without support for {x,y} constructs. * and ? wildcards and [a-z] ranges appear to work.
