fncll · 03-03-2016, 05:36 PM

I regularly use the regex capability of the Quality Check plugin to find books. However, once I have the list of books matching the pattern, I don't see a way to find the match within each book since Book Viewer doesn't, to my knowledge, support RegEx in its search.

For example, I search my whole library for:

Code:

\ssough\s

But then I when I want to find the particular place in the book, I have to search through all the matches for

Code:

sough

to find the true match.

Is there a way to use a RegEx search on an individual book's text?
