Description malfunction84 2009-02-05 23:32:39 UTC 
Regex searches should allow the ?m flag.  This option could be exposed through the UI as a checkbox.  To save screen
space, perhaps this option could replace "Whole Words" when the "Regular Expression" checkbox is checked.

This would apply both to Editor Find and Find in Projects.
Comment 1 Andrey Yamkovoy 2009-03-26 13:17:09 UTC 
Embedded flag expression (?m) is allowed for regex search in the Find In Projects and works correctly.

As for the Editor search it works strange for me. Please fine a separate issue against editor/search.
Comment 2 malfunction84 2009-06-03 19:51:12 UTC 
Changed to editor/search.

I still think having a checkbox for it would be nice, both for Find in Projects and in the Editor Search.  Should I file
these as separate issues?
