      Hello,

      When search in Find : the regex ^((?=.(Don))(?=.(Ho))(?=.(is))(?=.(the))(?=.(one))).$

      6e7ba4f8-a0aa-4530-b8e8-85abf56b5c0d-image.png

      Only 1 is available, not 2 , (1 and 2 defined in the picture above)

      While 2 is available when in search mode : Normal is selected, andnot regular expression,

      Would be nice to have 1 and 2 in regular expression, wouldn’t be ?

      Thanks all for you time !

        @Fred-Morant ,

        Regular expressions don’t work the way you expect in search-backwards mode, so it’s disabled except for advanced users.

        Advanced users can look at the user manual and figure out how to enable regexBackward4PowerUser
