It is good to have people contributing to the LyX project, but why are you
using your own code for regexp searching? I think that you should use the
GNU regex library using the LyX class LRegex (file /support/LRegex.C),
but I may be wrong.
On the subject of searching, I would like to see an option to do
search & replace on insets. For example, for changing a label in the
document, I need to do search/replace on all the label and reference insets.
