no. my understanding is this. When you use regular expressions, you put all
calculations of finding and filtering text on the regular expression itself and
not on the software. 

no other regex tester or even the =regex formula assumes user should use a
checkbox to select or unselect case sensitivity. that is the job of the regular
expression itself. a regular expression must find text on its own and not
expect users to pre select something else. please understand what i am trying
to say
