I'm a Sigil user, and I'm testing new Calibre editor in order to evaluate it for using as replacement for Sigil.

About saved searches, I found a bug at the interface. In this window (saved searches), if you have a long saved search, with a very long regex in "Find" field, when you select it at the saved searches list, the main window resizes automatically and becomes too width. If you try to resize the window again, it sometimes disappears, and you must close and reopen the edit program to make it visible again.

And other problem is regex doesn't support PCRE expressions, like Sigil does. PCRE are much powerfull than python's "re" regexps. And there is some features in PCRE with not equivalent in "re". Is there any possibility to improve regexp, maybe with some library (like regex or python-pcre) to get PCRE support in the searches?

Thanks for you program, and your support.
