There is actually no way to change the greediness of the regex search through 
the GUI, and it looks like our search code blindly accepts Qts defaults.

Of course we'd have to manually retri untill matching failed when searching 
backwards no matter what. I'm not sure if it's worth it. I see this a a bug 
in QRegExp mostly, except maybe we do wrong in limiting the string the way we 
do when searching backward (that must be why we have less matches than a bare 
regex).

In any way, getting it to work would be nice indeed.
