No. ^. is not equivalent. ^. means to match the first character on
the line, and if doing a replace then the first character would be
deleted. ^ by itself matches the start of the line (not including any
characters), and replacing it with something effectively inserts the
"replacement" text at the start of the line. You could use something
ugly like replacing ^(.) with ${1}PREFIX to avoid deleting the first
character, but that would fail on blank lines which don't have any
characters in them.
In any case, ^ (by itslef) is a standard, well-defined regular expression
syntax used everywhere else (Perl, Python, vim etc. etc.) and Libre Office
should not do something incompatible.

Title:
[Upstream] Regular Expression Search for circumflex by itself does not
find beginning of a paragraph

3) What is expected to happen in Writer, Calc, or the Macro Editor is when
one opens the Find & Replace window, with Regular Expression checkbox checked,
in the Search for drop down put a circumflex in, and the beginning of every
paragraph is found. Consulting the LO Wiki and built-in LO help, it is implied
that using a circumflex by itself in the find field should match the beginning
of a paragraph:

4) What happens instead is nothing is found.
