Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open/create a document containing a line with multiple characters except {
   1. alternatively, just fill the line with a bunch of as
2. Search for ^[^{]. The first character of the matching line is selected, as expected, with the find box stating something like "1 of 338"
   1. or ^a, if you went with 1.i
3. Find next. Instead of going to the next matching line, the next character on the current line is selected, with the find box stating "? of 338"
4. Find previous works as expected

It seems as if the search is run on the substring starting after the current match; but the beginning of this substring is erroneously interpreted as "start of line".

A symmetric issue occurs with a$ and find previous.

For the moment, my workaround is searching for ^[^{].*$
