Hi Hraban,

has it to be the source browser?
I mean, I use grep in Linux (MSYS2 in Windows [and brew.sh is available for macOS]) and it works perfectly fine with ConTeXt.
$ grep -irl fi[eë][eë] context context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/char-def.lua context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lilypond/t-lilypond.tex
Althought regular expressions are fine, I don’t know why "fi[eë]+" doesn’t work in this case.
Just in case it might help,
Thank you – I found
grep -R "regex" ~/context
to be most easy.
But I like the source browser with its syntax highlighting, and it’s a pity that the search is so limited.
I usually use the new GitHub "Code Search". This works pretty well, although you need a (free) account to use it: https://cs.github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror?q=%5Cstarttext Sourcegraph should work pretty much the same way. I don't usually use it, but it has the advantage of not requiring an account: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+repo:%5Egithub%5C.com/contextgarden/context-mirror%24+%5Cstarttext&patternType=standard Both of these have syntax highlighting and work with literal strings or regexes. -- Max
