Description Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-04-25 09:13:44 EDT 
Build 2.1

We should allow regular expressions in search patterns (using the 1.4 support).
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2003-04-25 11:18:32 EDT 
The API should be backward compatible i.e. still allow the simple wild cards (*,
?). I do this on the text search page by offering a check box:
[ ] regual expression
which is disabled per-default.
Comment 2 Nikolay Metchev CLA 2003-10-02 11:35:13 EDT 
this is duplicate of bug 14277
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2003-10-06 04:43:32 EDT 
No it is not. Bug 14277 which is for the Find/Replace dialog (and is implemented).
There's another PR requesting RegEx for the (global) File/Text search and this
PR here is about allowing RegEx when doing Java searches i.e. has to be
implemented in the Java search engine.

If time permit (really not sure)... Otherwise, I'll defer it (again) to next release

Thanks !

Sorry Leho, this is not on the 3.4 plan.
