Search patterns
Search patterns are Lua patterns, which are similar to regular expressions. This means that ^$()%.[]*+-?
characters have special meaning, such as .
matching any character. To search for those characters themselves, they need to be escaped by prefixing a %
For piped links, both the target article name as well as the displayed text are searched for matches. External links are not searched for matches.
Tip: To make a letter in a search pattern case-insensitive, put both the upper-case and lowercase letter inside square-brackets, i.e.
[Aa]pple
will match both An apple is... and Apples are....
