Currently, if you want to perform a global search with a string containing any regex special characters (
(
,.
,*
etc.), the string needs to be escaped ((
->\(
and so on). This PR adds a newglobal_search_fixed_strings
command which allows users to search with fixed strings, rather than regex, removing the need to escape special characters.
