Hello Monks,

I have the following subrutine to highlight all instances of a given word in a text widgets (this process is repeated x-times for the x-words I want to highlight. I use a regex in order to delimit the boundary of the words (only entire words should be highlighted). It works fine, until I try to add the -nocase flag...and here lies my problem

highlightText($TextWidget, \$term, 'selectedTerm', 'regexp');

sub highlightText {
    my($w, $string, $tag, $kind) = @_;
    my $stringw = $$string;
    return unless ref($string) && length($$string);

    my($current, $length) = ('1.0', 0);
    
    $stringw = qr/\b\Q$stringw\E\b/;#creating regex

    while (1) {
    $current = $w->search(-count => \$length, "-$kind", "-nocase", $st
+ringw, $current, 'end');#here I the -nocase causes an issue
    last if not $current;
    $w->tagAdd($tag, $current, "$current + $length char");
    $current = $w->index("$current + $length char");
    }
}

If I call $w->search without -nocase, my script works fine
