> 2. Search for "[^]he" and replace a string
That's an invalid regex. We should handle that more gracefully than a browser error, of course.

4) Opern serach and replace and search for [a-z][^]st and replace it with QA 
5) Click on "Replace All"
<< Message : The regular expression you entered is invalid: Expected ']' in regular expression >>
6) Then the search string change for [a-z][^ ]st
<<Test replace with QA>>

<<[a-z][^]st and [a-z][^ ]st both regular expressions are work in all other browsers>>

We can't help that some browsers have different ideas of valid regexes than others. Not our fault, so reclosing. AFAIK, [^] is an invalid regex.

agree and close
