Regex search gives weird and inconsistent results #68

Hi!

Trying to search for Subject RegEx. The expression builder suggests the token "regex:", so I search for:

regex:/.*vlies/i

The result list contains emails having subject

"Fragen bzgl. CVS​"

(??? where is "vlies" in this subject line!?) but it does NOT find

Ihre Amazon.de Bestellung von "Wintervlies 60g/m² 1,6m x...".

To find the latter one, I have to explicitly enter the search term

regex:/wintervlies/i

OK, but then I do not need any regex...

Indeed, I completely fail to find all emails containing the term "vlies" as part of a word. It works neither in the subject, nor in the body. Any suggestions how to achieve this?
