The Match syntax is the same Advanced search syntax, as stated here:
Manual -> Reference section -> ModeWhen file -> Match
The differences are that it's a match, ie it stops at first match found,
whereas a search will find all matches, eg a LoF.
There is no dialogue box so options can't be set and hardwired defaults
are used; Advanced search and case sensitivity are both turned on, and
start-of-line is off.
Simple search can easily be simulated by providing a single string in
double quotes. Start-of-line and case insensitive can be forced by using
'<' and '\-' respectively.
A match expression will usually start with '**' to allow it to search
through multiple lines.
Cheers,
Fred.
