searchwindows 8
When using a new Windows 8 search bar:
What is the syntax of the search expression? Is it possible to use wildcards like "*", "?" or any other special symbol?
For example, when searching with Google i can use:
RegEx Search lets you search for things inside a web page using regular expressions. If you're new to regular expressions (as I am) then look here. You can easily find what you're looking for quickly.
To find (as in your example), a single phrase, such as load then, all you need to type is \bload\b.
If you separate this, you get \b and load and \b.
\b is an anchor. It is true at a word boundary. More info here (same website as above, different page). Simply put, you use this for seperate words.
Here is this example working in the website in your question:
.
RegEx can be very powerful, so this is using the extension as a very low-use. If you ever need, you can use this for things like wildcards etc. (which by default Chrome does not provide)
