Ok, I really like the new manual. It told me exactly what I wanted to know.

Unfortunately it didn't get me what I wanted.

Sigil's manual basically states the same thing as the QRegExp doc does:
Quote:
In Sigil ^ always signifies the start of the string (apart from within character classes), so carets should be escaped unless used in this way. The same applies to $ which in Sigil always signifies the end of the string.
What does "string" mean in the context of a global S&R in Sigil?

Is it a line? In which case a ^ represents the start of the line.
Is it a file? In which case a ^ represents the start of the file.
