TextSearch won't accept "--with-..." as search terms

[KapiX]

It seems it's passing the term to grep unescaped, and grep fails with "unrecognized argument".

with Regular Expression enabled of not?

A quick check shows that grep -F "--with-..." works, but grep "--with-..." doesn't.

I guess when Regular Expression is enabled, the -e option should be explicitly passed then, as `grep -e "--with-..." works as expected.

It doesn't work in both cases. Exact term: --with-theme in libreoffice's source directory.

I guess the root cause was fixed in #15650. Could you check again?

[phoudoin]

Closing, as I really believe this issue is a duplicate of #15650, in hrev53758. Please re-open if the issue persist.

Yes, it works now, thanks :)
