Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.0-b09


In the "Find in Projects" function, if I type "exit?" as the search term, it will match "exit(", "exiting" etc. The character following "exit" is highlighted in the results. The regular expression checkbox is not selected.

If you want to match a questionnaire, please escape it with backslash ("\?"), as said below the "Containing text:" field. 

The basic search uses simple wild-cards by default. The check-box "Regular Expression" enables more complex and powerful patterns (java.util.regex.Pattern).
