What else can I say besides "Does [:space:] work with regular expressions?"

I can use regular expressions, but I can not make it find a space using this syntax, which is documented. I also tested [:digit:], which does not work for me. [0-9] works just fine, however. In other words, I can use some regular expressions, just not all. I see no issues for this. Depending on the answer, I will open an issue.

I am using 2.02 on Linux. I investigated this based on a question here:

please use [:space:]+ or [:space:]* as search term.
[:space:] by itself is a regular expression for "any white space" (look up Wiki or Google what a white space is). You cannot search for a regular expression by itself, in the same sense as you cannot search for something as "between 3 and 6 times". You always must give a parameter what you mean by using the regular expression. You can find all this in a very short list in Online Help. Be aware that a complete discussion of "regular expressions" can fill a book of 500 pages, see amazon.com for that keyword.
