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,

Pablo
