I indeed placed the cursor immediately before <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> when I ran my tests and didn't get any matches.

@WS64: Try the following:

1. Create a new epub2 book.
2. Position your cursor immediately before the x in xml in the first line and run your search in Regex mode with all search options unchecked and Down as the search direction. You should get xml as the only match unless you add a space after the asterisk, in which case you'll get a couple more matches.

The search will fail if the cursor is positioned before a non-letter or if a word is highlighted in Code View.
