By default, searches are on consecutive characters; a search for ports may find rePORTS, supPORTS, and so on. To force word searches, enclose the word in the \b metacharacters. For example: \bports\b.
Some other forms of regular expression searching are supported. For example, d[iu]g searches for dig and dug.
Searches do not look for quotation marks, apostrophes, pipes, slashes, and backslashes.
Searches are not case-sensitive.
