    Hi,

    tested with 8.01:

    Open a new document and paste these three lines:

    TEST!!!
    ** TEST !!!
    TEST!!!

    Now goto start of the document and open find dialog with this regex:
    (?

    (?<!**) *TEST

    There are three parts marked in green, but the last line is never selected when pressing “find down” multiple times.

    I reproduced your issue, but this expression is confusing. Can you explain what you are really searching for? Is it possible to show me a simpler example? Thank you.

    (?<!**) is negative lookbehind.

    I am looking for the word “TEST”, but not if there is ** in front of it. Between ** and TEST may be spaces.

    This is for our programming language where ** marks a comment.
    So I am looking for TEST which is not commented out.
