Description Milutin Kristofic 2012-01-30 13:52:37 UTC

Search in Editor (no regexp) is using characters *, ? as normal characters, you don't need to escape them.

Search in Files (no regexp) is using characters *, ? as one or many characters and if you want use exactly *, ? you need to escape them.

This is not consistent. There can be surprises when you replace in files.
