No, I think I answered that. It's possible that the problem is you haven't shown the exact searches you are doing. Your description was to highlight:

Code:
<br class="calibre8"/>
And you copied and pasted it, and use the magnifying glass to start a search for it. When I do that, I get the same search.

You also state that the magnifying glass escapes the "escapes the outer chevrons" and gave the example:

Code:
\*<br class="calibre8"/>
The only escaped character is for an asterisk before the first chevron. That is a different search looking for an asterisk before the tag. And when I paste the what you first said into an editor and repeat those steps, the characters are not escaped. But, I also don't get the asterisk. If I add that and select it before starting the search, the asterisk is escaped.

I can't reproduce your report. But, there are also inconsistencies in the report. I don't know if there are typos above, or something in how we are both doing the testing.
