I apologise if this was mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it in the manual.
Which regexp engine does TXS use for normal search/replace in the editor?
In particular I'm looking to use a non-greedy modifier (e.g. Perl's .*?) as well as singleline modifier to allow . to match newlines as well (e.g. Perl's s).
I noticed that .*? doesn't work so it must be using a non-Perl compatible regexp engine.
Cheers
p.s. If this info is not in the manual, then you may want to add it.

It uses QRegExp
But you cannot use (global) modifiers
