"hel|hal.*" with find exact match "hel" and words beginning with "hal". Operator | (or) have priority. (.* applies only to "hal". While with "(hel|hal).*" will find "hell", "hello", "hallo", "hellish"... (With the grouping parenthesis, ".*" apllies to all the group.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
