Meaning

precedes it. The preceding character can be a regular expression.
Match any single character.
Match the following regular expression at the beginning of a word.
Match the following regular expression at the end of a word.
Match any one of the enclosed characters.
A hyphen (-) indicates a range of consecutive characters. For
example: [a-z] matches any letter.
A caret (^) as the first character in the brackets reverses the sense. It
matches any one character not in the list. For example: [^a-z]
matches any character that is not a letter.
Turn off the special meaning of the character that follows.
Match one or more instances of the preceding regular expression.
Match zero or one instance of the preceding regular expression.
Match the regular expression specified before or after.
Apply a match to the enclosed group of regular expressions.

looks identical.
The search is not case sensitive.
Single or double quotation marks have no special meaning. They are
simply included as part of the search string. If the command line
parser encounters a blank, it stops parsing.
