I'm not great at screenshots. I have an example, not the best, but it does show it not 'finding' the unbreakable space. The part to find is lines 18 to 20. After, I changed it to regex and the unbreakable space to '\s' and it worked.

This one isn't bad, but it's when you need to find a line filled with other symbols that need to be escaped that it will get tedious. Sometimes there's no choice, but when there is it's nice not to have to.
