--- Comment #1 from earl_c...@yahoo.com --- I realise my misunderstanding is that I have confused greediness with search direction, so this is not a bug and I am closing this ticket. Searching forwards matches "Date=B" first, then the search looks for the shortest match that finds "Key". This results in Searching backwards would match "Key", then the search would look for the shortest match and would find "Date=C". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
