[Github-comments] [geany/geany] search: Fix the tooltip to mention PCRE, not POSIX regular expressions (#1168)

[elextr]

Actually this is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY wrong!!!!!!!  Must be reverted :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: 


We do not use PCRE, we use Glib Regex where " low-level functionalities are obtained through the excellent PCRE library", its not exactly the PCRE library, and where PCRE is used it is built with one specific set of options.   For instance it seems that Gregex has better unicode support than PCRE (which is reasonable since Glib has Unicode tables in it already) and I guess its hard coded for UTF-8.  Newlines appear to be different (including VT and FF that PCRE doesn't).

So it should refer to Glib Regex not PCRE.

And then the reference to Glib documentation would be right.
