1.7.3-1 fixed a lot of more important things, but unfortunately it didn't 
fix this one. A standard search must succeed before a ~R (Regex-off) search 
will succeed. So if I'm searching for something which requires regular 
expressions to be off, I'll never find it unless I first search for 
something that doesn't require Regex-off.

I sent the cygcheck output with the original report last week. Do you need 
another one?

Have fun,
