Limitation of SuperMemo search feature
SuperMemo search is limited to plain text and there is no support for regular expressions as searches are implemented using assembly language. This is not the end. You can overcome such limitation by using a third party tool and searching into the files externally. My prefered choice is grepWin, a free and open source solution.
GrepWin
grepWin is a simple search and replace tool which can use regular expressions to do its job. This allows to do much more powerful searches and replaces.
