Description: On macOS with attached document, what is expected to happen is when one opens the "Find and Replace" window via: Edit Find and Replace... In the textbox for "Find:" type: ^ Check the checkbox "Regular expressions" Click the button "Find Next" and it finds all beginnings of a line. What happens instead is it notes "Search key not found". Visual Studio Code found all 34 instances. Reproducible in new document before saving, so perceived as a bug in LO and not document type dependent. Steps to Reproduce: See above. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: See above. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 14.4; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

The behavior is inherited from Aoo, so all versions of LibreOffice works in that way. IMO not a bug.
The last version tested. Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 01067e964a876e38e99a099f62fe514a211a5fca CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22631; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded

The key point is that LO is publicly advertising globally it works as expected: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/02100001.html Further, if one goes to the bottom of the page under "Related Topics" entitled "ICU Regular Expressions documentation": https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/regexp.html#regular-expression-metacharacters Quoting: "Match at the beginning of a line." With this noted, regardless of how one feels this isn't a bug, the LibreOffice project is actively advertising globally it works as one would naturally expect given LO public docs and what everyone knows about how regular expressions work.
