| Regular expressions | ✔ | ✘ |
| Fields (source, target, etc.) | ✔ | ✔ |
| Case-sensitivity | ✔ | ✘ (always case insensitive) |
| Unicode normalisation | ✔ (auto) | ✔ (auto) |
| Recursive | ✔ (auto) | ✔ (maybe needs changes in Pootle) |

Regular expressions
The indexing engines can match the following:
- single words (complete or incomplete; the start must always match)
- multiple words
- regular expressions are not supported
Recursive
The filename of each string is indexed, thus the indexing code supports file based filtering. Pootle with pogrep can work automatically on a subdirectory of a project.
