If the right options were disabled/enabled during use, I don't see how
it would complicate anything for the user. Though it would clutter the
dialog box a bit.

Anyhow, I still prefer the idea of geany simply automatically checking
the "Case sensitive" box when the user checks the "Use regular
expressions" box -- no automatic unchecking involved. (Actually, I
just noticed, this is similar to how NEdit does it, though NEdit seems
to do something a little more complicated which I'm not sure I
understand.)

Could be. But I did want to note in the earlier message how the
current default of case-insensitive regexes was possibly disorienting
to users (since it was to me).
