RegEx Search Not Functioning in Source Code Editor

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      The source code editor in Confluence no longer supports regular expression (RegEx) searches. When the "RegEx" checkbox is checked, the search behaves like a normal text search instead of a RegEx search.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open a page in Confluence and switch to the source code editor.
      1. Check the "RegEx" checkbox in the search panel.
      1. Enter the RegEx pattern </?p> in the search box.
      1. Observe the search results.

      Expected Results

      The search should find all instances of <p> and </p> tags, as these match the RegEx pattern </?p>.

      Actual Results

      The search does not find any matches. It behaves like a normal text search, which does not interpret the input as a RegEx pattern.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
