1) No. The rational is search and replace is not a replacement for an editor like Sigil. It is just there to make quick changes to commonly occurring issues within a text.

If you are using it for replace only then you can chain expression in the search field with the | character.

2) Search and replace uses regular expressions. ? is a control character. You need to escape it. \?.
