--- Comment #6 from TraceyC <[email protected]> ---
I'm reopening this at Justin's request. While the behavior might be technically
correct and working as designed, this is not a great UX. 

A regular user has no way of knowing about this limitation. Also, a regular
user has the expectation that their search term will be treated as-is (aka as
plain text). Other applications such as Kate, VS Code and Obsidian Notes have
this behavior. Searches will be treated as plain text unless you enable regex
mode.

As such, we can make this report about improving the search UX to better align
with user expectations and provide some flexibility with plain text vs regex
searches.
