Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If finding and replacing is dependent on the larger context of the string, it can be difficult to find and replace the correct string.
Describe the solution you'd like
Have a checkbox that indicates that the search and replace terms are regular expressions and apply those to match and replace instead of the specific string.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the find-and-replace UI and its string-matching logic; confirm how search and replacement values are passed. Done means a checkbox enables regular-expression matching and replacement while preserving literal-string behavior when it is off.
