Description malfunction84 2009-02-05 23:32:39 UTC

Regex searches should allow the ?m flag.  This option could be exposed through the UI as a checkbox.  To save screen
space, perhaps this option could replace "Whole Words" when the "Regular Expression" checkbox is checked.

This would apply both to Editor Find and Find in Projects.

Embedded flag expression (?m) is allowed for regex search in the Find In Projects and works correctly.

As for the Editor search it works strange for me. Please fine a separate issue against editor/search.

Comment 2 malfunction84 2009-06-03 19:51:12 UTC

Changed to editor/search.

I still think having a checkbox for it would be nice, both for Find in Projects and in the Editor Search.  Should I file
these as separate issues?
