Where is the cursor when you start the search?

If you start the search at the beginning of any of the following lines:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

45 here's some more letters.

"Heres a string that starts with a quote"

Then [a-zA-Z]* should--and does--result in "No matches found".

If you search at the start of any of the following lines:

Code:

Hello there.

asdkasd asdsakhk

lkj;lkj;lkj

then [a-zA-Z]* will correctly match up until the first non-letter.

Are you saying it doesn't for you?
