RE does not work through formatting #19

On the following US senate vote webpage, I was trying to match the democrats who voted Yes with "D.*Yea" but your tool does not find any, maybe because of the bold tags around the Yea. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=115&session=1&vote=00195

I found the votes grouped by position further down the page, so I could answer my question, but in general, a more robust matching of text through HTML formatting would be nice.
