It's hard to read, but maybe it helps anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOtE...ature=youtu.be

Your video indicates that you are using the "Count" button and not the "Find" button as the rest of us are discussing. So there's that. If you place the cursor in front of letters and click "Find" it will highlight what it matches (and it will match something so long as Minimal Match is unchecked).

"Count" will never work when using a zero or more expression because Sigil does not recognize zero-length matches as matches. Never has. So it will stop after the first zero-length match encountered. And since "Count" always starts at the very beginning of a file (and not from where the cursor is placed), the first match of [a-zA-Z]* count will always be zero length.
