Wish [B4X] Better search module of the IDE

[Mike1970]

Would be nice to have a improved IDE search bar, where you can set filters like:
- Case sensitive: on/off
- The whole word must match (ex. search term: "code" [off -> "any_code" is ok, "code" is ok], [on: -> "code" is ok, "any_code" is not ok]
- Regex

I hope it's a good tip, it would be useful in the workflow

@Erel Is there some special rule that prevents certain searched in the quick Search? For example, I was looking for & " ( <- ampersand + space +quote + space + bracket
and it could not find anything.

The quick search is based on an internal words index. It will not match terms that are made of only separator characters. You must have at least a single non-separator character.
The non-quick search will work as it is a simple linear search.
