Just asked this question on stackoverflow but the comment shows it seems to be
a version-specific problem.
I have a simple text file:
blah.
[{}]
[{foo}]
My cursor is at the beginning of the file. I want to search for (possibly
empty) strings embraced with [{}].
So the regex pattern is "\[{.*}\]",right?
When I use the normal search
/\[{.*}\]
The cursor is relocated at the second line, good!
But if I use the search function
:echo search("\[{.*}\]")
The cursor goes to the final . of the first line and the result of echo is 1,
meaning the first match is in line 1.
Can you reproduce this? And if yes, why and how can I get the same result as
the normal search using a function?
I am running Arch Linux and my Vim version is 7.4.537 (the latest on Arch).
Thanks.
