Brief description of how to use Regex Match AutoSuggest Provider by Paul Filkin

Using Regex Match AutoSuggest Provider
- Select the Enabled check box and enter Description (optional), Regex Pattern, and Replace Pattern in their respective fields.
- Type the first letter of the word matched to show AutoSuggest entries.
Using variables
The version 1.4 or higher of the plugin supports the use of variables in regex patterns. A variable represents several pairs of source and target values defined in the
Variables tab.
*The name of a variable cannot contain any symbols except _ (underscore) and cannot start with a number (0 to 9).
To use a variable in a regex pattern, enclose the variable name with
# (number sign). In the following screenshot, the variable name
Month is enclosed with
#. In addition, remember to enclose it with parentheses when you want to reference it in the
Replace Pattern field.
Currently, one regex pattern can only contain one variable.
Showing all the evaluated suggestions in a pop-up window
You can also list the suggestions in a small pop-up window by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F12. Press the Up/Down key or use the mouse to select a suggestion.
