New macros added, bugs fixed

  • Now you can use {_} and {|} macros in search patterns:
    - {_} is a 'white-space' macro, which matches any sequence of white-space characters including line-breaks, and skips it (doesn't add to search results, i. e. quivalent to {*});
    - {|} is a 'line-break' macro, which matches a sequence of line-breaks, and skips it.
  • White space handling has been fixed.
  • FAQ and context help has been updated.

Does {_} match "0 or more" whitespace or "1 or more"? I need "0 or more" whitespace tag and this one seems not to work this way. The same question goes to {|} tag.

Currently {_} and {|} match 1 or more items.
{*} works for 0 or more items.

Can you give me the example of the site where this
behavior doesn't suit your needs?

P.S.: It's better to use feedback form on Feed43 site to post support questions.
