Description
> Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
> When I use regex to search through my notes, I switch between simple and complex syntax. What I noticed is that my double quotes around "re:" are removed when seemingly unnecessary. The problem then is that I have to keep re-adding them every time I want to match \d or anything a bit more complex.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing a regex search containing quoted "re:" and a pattern such as \d, then trace the search handling that removes apparently unnecessary quotes. Done means switching between simple and complex syntax no longer strips quotes needed by regex searches.
