According to the MANUAL.md document, the search in plato is a regular expression. However, I can't find a syntax that works ... for example:

Looking for Edward Abbey's "The Monkey Wrench Gang", NONE of the follow work:

Code:

Abbey Monkey   (with no quotes or with quotes)
Abbey & Monkey (with 1 or 2 "&" chars)
/Abbey Monkey/
(?=Abbey)(?=Monkey) (ie, Perl :-)

Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Dan
