I wonder if it accepts ^ and $ in regular expressions? #178

I tried to look for all occurences of that are on a single line, that is

Fred
</a>
George

but not 

Fred</a>
George

or 

Fred
</a>George

So I used

^</a>$

but found no occurencesin posts, even if they exists. Any idea why?

I can't tell you why it didn't find any occurences. If the expressions matches then it will return results, otherwise it won't. This must mean your expression doesn't match.
