[Rik]

Update of bug #50177 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #4:

The problem was that "words" for the global search were being interpreted as
regular expressions.  I made a small change to prevent that by escaping
characters with special meaning before constructing the search pattern
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8419d24ab8f7).

This will be a part of the 4.2.1 bug fix release.
