searching: ^[^/]+\/

this matches across lines

file1
file2
file3
path/to/file

since when does + match across line breaks?

Or am I misremembering?

Always has. You might be thinking of the dot '.', which in regexes matches any character except a line break, unless you've used the s modifier -- /pattern/s or (?s) in the regex.

'+' simply means '1 or more' of whatever part of the regex immediately precedes it.
