"A search using a regular expression will work only within one paragraph. That is, a \n will match a line break within a paragraph." We can in fact match a string in *every* paragraph of a document in one pass. We just can't match strings at the Paragraph bounds, e.g. a Paragraph ending with xyz$ or starting with ^abc (needing to implement support look-ahead / look-behind syntax to be able to construct a pattern to match). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
