Search menu: Enable Regex, Search entry: noregex

[Axel]

Is the following intended behavior? If yes, could you explain, why?

I have an empty directory c:\xyyx

UNEXPECTED behavior:

1.)
Search Menu: "Enable Regex" checked.
Search entry: noregex:xyyx
=> NO hits


EXPECTED behavior:

2.)
Search Menu: "Enable Regex" NOT checked.
Search entry: noregex:xyyx
=> xyyx is found

3.)
Search Menu: "Enable Regex" NOT checked.
Search entry: xyyx
=> xyyx is found

4.)
Search Menu: "Enable Regex" checked.
Search entry: xyyx
=> xyyx is found


Match Path is not checked in any case.

Kind regards
Axel

Search modifiers do not work in Regex mode.
When regex is enabled the entire search string is considered as a literal regular expression.

If you need the search modifiers please disable regex from the search menu and use the regex: modifier.

OK, I understand. That's OK for me. Thank you for the explanation!
