I don't see any documentation for the regex syntax for v4.4's new find-regexp-in-string. It's clearly not PCRE, since it doesn't even allow parenthesis. Why would Xanalys add a non-PCRE-compatible regex matcher? Seems rather pointless. - Stoney

So I assume it uses the same regex syntax as the editor which is described in section 3.20.0 of the editor manual. Parenthesis are allowed with \( and \). Best, John DeSoi, Ph.D.
