Description akarperien 2016-07-17 08:32:00 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.1 (Build 201510222201)
Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_77
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.77-b03

Reproducibility: Happens every time

STEPS:
  * Open Find in Projects, select Regex
  * Insert Regex =   <div class="bigcontent">
        <h2><a name="titlesection" id="titlesection">IMAGES</a></h2>
        <hr/>
  *Click test using  <div class="bigcontent">
        <a name="titlesection" id="titlesection" href="#contents">abcd efg hi 123</a></h2>
        <hr/> 
 *Click Apply
  *Click Find using *.htm
  

ACTUAL:
  Says "No matching files were found"
   And "Warnings and Errors: requested subSequence has a big length (8721)>8192" along with several more lines with different values for (8721)      

EXPECTED:
 To find in file containing exactly the same text as the test and other files with similar text
Comment 1 akarperien 2016-07-17 08:33:50 UTC 
Regex should be ((<h2>)(<a name="titlesection")(([\s\S])*)(<\/h2>))
