## What When `seed_search_query_from_cursor` is enabled and regex mode is active, the selected text is used verbatim as the regex pattern. This means selecting text like `z.d` seeds the regex `z.d`, where `.` acts as a wildcard — matching `zed`, `zXd`, etc. — rather than only the literal string the user selected. Fixes #57253. ## Why it was broken `search_suggested()` in `BufferSearchBar` retrieves the raw selection text from `query_suggestion()` and passes it directly to `search()`. There was no escaping step, even when `default_options` had `SearchOptions::REGEX` set. ## Fix Run the seeded suggestion through `regex::escape()` before passing it to `search()` when regex mode is enabled. This mirrors the identical pattern already used in `crates/vim/src/normal/search.rs:485`. ```rust // Before let search = self .query_suggestion(seed_query_override, window, cx) .map(|suggestion| { self.search(&suggestion, Some(self.default_options), true, window, cx) }); // After let search = self .query_suggestion(seed_query_override, window, cx) .map(|suggestion| { let suggestion = if self.default_options.contains(SearchOptions::REGEX) { regex::escape(&suggestion) } else { suggestion }; self.search(&suggestion, Some(self.default_options), true, window, cx) }); ``` ## Test Added `test_seeded_query_is_escaped_in_regex_mode` in `buffer_search.rs`. It creates a buffer with `"z.d\nzed\n"`, enables regex mode, selects `z.d`, seeds the search, and asserts: - The query text becomes `z\.d` (escaped), not `z.d` - Exactly 1 match is highlighted (the literal `z.d`), not 2 The `regex` crate was already a workspace dependency and is already used in the `search` crate transitively; this adds it explicitly to `crates/search/Cargo.toml`. Release Notes: - Fixed regex search seeded from cursor/selection matching more than the selected text when the selection contained regex special characters (e.g. `.`, `*`, `(`) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Smit Barmase <heysmitbarmase@gmail.com>
