For bears of little brain like me it is perhaps worth pointing out that the
Regex needs to be in quotes.
“^2” will find
17: 20 Years of Power with Huw Edwards - -, BBC Two, b095dxkg
but 2, ^2 and "2" won't. I know the documentation says it is safer to use
quotes for all search strings, but most strings work without.
Best wishes
