Lister: Search for "\t" always operates in RegEx-M

[browny]

False alarm then, sorry.
Akelpad for this kind of tricks explicitly provides a checkbox (off by default): Esc sequences (\[0020], \\, \t, \n).
Maybe this should be added as more intuitive option. Also more convenient when searching for paths with lots of backslashes.

The following threads were merged with Lister: Search for "\t" always operates in RegEx-M because they are about the same subject:

• Bug in Lister with search
• Lister search question with \\
• Find text containing backslash in a file content = 0 results
• Search text (as text) '\\' treat as '\' (as regexp)
• Search for \t in Lister

Similar threads exist that are about searching for files with text search. Those threads I did not merge with this thread.
