Specifically the issue occurs with 'Match case' toggle turned off. The search box then considers queries abc\d{5} and abc\D{5} to be the same query and just pulls the previous search results from the cache.
Desired behaviour:
Search respects 'Don't Match Case' option for the regular letters, but still correctly identifies special characters (like 'digit'/'not digit' in this particular example) and interprets abc\D{5} as a distinct query.
