(In reply to László Németh from comment #5)
> Regex library search operates on the plain text conversion of the document,

First, the presumption to treat a document as a sequence of sequences of
(paragraph-level) plain text characters - is itself a bug. A document is not
that. Other office suites, like MSO for example, do not presume to limit
searches to plain-text representations.

Would you rather we also filed that as an underlying bug which blocks many of
the feature requests?

> Fortunately there are possible solutions or workarounds: etc. etc.

Laszlo, with respect - suggestions involving complicated procedures, certainly
exporting PDFs and working outside the app, are not a way that LibreOffice
"works for you". There are workarounds to lots of bugs - that does not
invalidate them.

Given what you've said, please consider confirming.
