Test1 doesn't match every "google". **ogle is not where it might be expected to be (search the page).

Yeah, same effect as with the "C" filter in your last post: \0 is filled with a whole lot of chars, more than 256 (byte limit) anyway. See post #2.

Doesn't match...

That's the 6a case (new 1-11 numbering):

Techniques.txt Wrote:6a You can't test a positional variable that has been previously assigned with
$SET(), unless you expand it immediately.

Examples:
$SET(0=foo)$TST(\0=foo) test fails
$SET(0=foo)$TST((\0)=foo) test succeeds
$SET(1=foo)$SET(2=bar)$TST((\1\2)=foobar) test succeeds
