Hi list.
I've just noticed that regexp search works identically to exact match search in less and it prints this:
$ /usr/bin/less --version
less 581.2 (no regular expressions)

How to solve this?

Are you using 32bit version of cygwin?
In my environment, this only happens in 32bit cygwin.
In 64 bit cygwin, it says:
less 581.2 (PCRE2 regular expressions)

Hi Basin,
it seems missing for the 32bit version,
on 64bit it is present.
$ less --version
less 581.2 (PCRE2 regular expressions)
Copyright (C) 1984-2021 Mark Nudelman
But for both the library is present
$ cygcheck -cd |grep "pcre.*devel"
libpcre-devel 8.45-1
libpcre2-devel 10.37-1
let me investigate why the 32bit has such issue.
Regards
Marco
