Bugs in regular expression search

    I think there may be bugs in the regular expression search (Ctrl + F, search mode is Regular expression). (OR NP++ supports only a special RE syntax)

    e.g. The following patterns are not recognized by NP++

    A*

    A|B

      Not really a bug but rather a limitation, Scintilla has only a small subset of what people consider standard regex patterns.

      The textfx regex engine (Ctrl-R) seems to be a bit more complete, but does still miss a few things.
