regular expressions in advanced search within attachment content

pmckibbin
I see that regexps are supported in the Attachment Content search condition if you click the little arrow for regexp in the search field. I have tried what I think is standard syntax, e.g. /foo/ but to no avail. Also, are phrases contained in parentheses in the full text findable, e.g. the phrase (foo) ?

Thank you,
Paul

    Thanks for reporting. This broke due to a Firefox change, though I'm not sure when. (I imagine very few people use this functionality.)

    Fixed in the latest 4.0 Branch dev XPI for 4.0.5.

    The slashes aren't necessary, since the search text is passed to JavaScript's "new RegExp()" as a string.
