Yes, you can. Just use the Ctl+F shortcut to open the search dialog. You'll see 
that one of the Options is Regular Expression (and of course you need to select 
either Source Files or All Files as the Search In preference).

But! (Heehee) You will occasionally get "false positives" in the results. For 
example, I used *[Pp]roj* as my search string and get all the expected hits, 
but also hits on "Property..." and "... ProgIcon ..." and a few others.  So 
beware of global replaces.
