Escape Metacharacters when switching to RegEx

[hutchinsfairy]

Would be nice if, when switching to to RegEx search from normal search, any meta characters already in the search bar are escaped.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I will consider escaping and unescaping when Switch to and from regex.

I have also added escape command line search options when regex is enabled to my "Things to do" list.

Thanks! You are by far the most responsive developer I have pestered, and I pester a lot.
Mostly it's just the backslash itself which causes problems for me. I start to search for something in folder and then decide I need to use RegExp, necessitating going back to escape the path.
