RStudio IDE 2021.09.1 Build 372 for Mac OSX Monterey 12.1: Global Find with regular expressions does not work with `+` operator

Hi RStudio IDE Devs,
I recently started working with RStudio on a Mac and it looks like the Global search with regular expressions is not functioning quite right when + is used.
If I am searching for all of the instances with a prefix of str_, I can use str_[\w]* and find matches but str_[\w]+ returns no matches.

Hard time making out recording (darned dark theme). Sure you had the Regex and Wrap boxes checked?

Hi @technocrat,
Thanks for chiming in here! There's no wrap option in global find/replace for me:

The screenshot you have there is the find in file menu.
