Documentation typo? "\." should be "."

[benkasminbullock]

In the documentation, http://grep.cpan.me/about

For example -dist=perl to exclude perl, file:.xs to search only XS files or -file:"ppport.h" to exclude ppport.h.

However, that doesn't work:

http://grep.cpan.me/?q=SvPV_const+-file%3A%22ppport%5C.h%22

returns lots of ppport.h results.

The correct syntax seems to be

SvPV_const -file:"ppport.h"

which gives the correct results:

http://grep.cpan.me/?q=SvPV_const+-file%3A%22ppport.h%22

not containing ppport.h results.

It looks like either file names are not regular expressions or possibly this may be a more serious issue if file names are supposed to be regexes.

Closing due to lack of response.

I'd like to see this fixed still. Please reopen?

OK but I'm unsubscribing from this discussion, so I won't be able to close it again unless you email me.
