DW MX use a JavaScript 1.5 engine, so it support the "lazy quantifier". You
could try this:

<a href="(.*?)"

BTW DW Search & Replace has an hidden gem, in the "Search For" dialog box,
select "Specific Tag" or "Text (advanced)", it's a unique, superpowerful
feature that very few people know and use.

If you would like to learn more about RegExp in JavaScript 1.5 and DW, this
is a must read:

Hope it will help
