"^" should match the front of every line. For example, if you want to comment out a block of code in the Basic macro editor, it should be possible to Find ^ in a selection and replace it with "rem " and have "rem " inserted at the front of all the selected lines. But ^ alone does not work, and never matches any lines. The use of of ^ alone to match the start of lines (and, similarly $ for end-of-lines) has been a fundamental feature of regular expressions in computer systems since they were first widely used in 1970s Unix. OO should not deviate.
