How to use regex in the search window?

[OriLiMu]

I havent find the related doc about it . All regex is about the grep command .

I want search file "nvim-cmp" by typing "nvim.cmp".
. in regex means anychar

Use live_grep, it uses regex by default.

If you want to send regex from the cli for grep use no_esc, :FzfLua grep search=nvim.cmp no_esc=true

how to use it combine with "Fzflua oldfiles" . I find "oldfiles" and "grep" belong to different catagory. Is possible to combine them ? I want use regex to search title of oldfiles

[ibhagwan]

Can’t combine old files is the output of :oldfiles directly into fuzzy matching, there’s no regex involved.

Maybe you can select multiple files send to quick fix and use grep_quickfix or lgrep_quickfix.

why regex only in grep?
I think it is pretty common usage for filename

That’s how fzf / fuzzy finding works, you can open an issue upstream if you want.

In case this isn’t clear, fzf-lua uses fzf and is bound by the feature set of fzf.
