Looks good, but maybe superseded by regex support in 2.1.24

Sadly, word search does not seem to work anymore:
Version 2.1.19 (3c8690ae)
Python 3.8.1 Qt 5.14.0 PyQt 5.13.2
Lubuntu 18.04 LTS
Version 2.1.19 (3c8690ae)
Python 3.8.1 Qt 5.14.0 PyQt 5.13.2
Lubuntu 18.04 LTS

Yeah, unfortunately the expressions `;test;`, `;test` and `test;` don’t work. Could you fix it, please? :3
Anki version: 2.1.20 (47a1bf8b)
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
P.S. If someone urgently needs this functionality, take a look at this add-on — [Regex Search (+ Wildcard Matching on Field Names)](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2044559350).

Update (2020-02-13): This mostly does not seem to work anymore. I'm on Anki 2.1.19 and macOS Mojave. The only thing that seems to work are searches such as `*:horse`.

This is pretty great and super useful. I’ve been using Anki for years but somehow missed this addon. Many thanks to Teemu for creating it and to Glutanimate for porting it.

works

Thanks for importing such a great add-on to 2.1

I used to search for word boundaries with spaces, like " ___test*" (= protestants).
This is better.
