Regular expressions checked.

Find: $
Replace: [\google]

The result is
[google]

To have the result as [\google]
It needs to be
Replace: [\\google]

However, this is not a problem when it is run via a macro:
document.selection.Replace("$","[/google]",eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp,0);

[Yutaka Emura]

The macro should be :
document.selection.Replace("$","[\\\\google]",eeReplaceAll | eeFindReplaceRegExp,0);

Yes, sorry about the macro, my error, I used forward slash instead. The point is whether it makes sense for the replacement of [\google] to become [google] in standard regex and requiring [\\google] in order to replace as expected.

[Yutaka Emura]

I am not exactly sure what your question is. Please write an example, what you expect to match literally, and what EmEditor actually matches.

spiros mentions that he have to escape the backslash \ in the regex replacement by doubling it to \\

Find: $
Replace: [\google]
(o) Regular Expression

must be
Replace: [\\google]
(o) Regular Expression
