This is NeedleRegEx: hig.{1,6}tem, which finds the following (red) pattern:higher temperature

However, when I go to MS Word's Advanced Find, check "use wildcards" checkbox and type hig?{1,6}tem , which is compatible with hig.{1,6}tem NeedleRegEx, it finds the following (red) patterns:higher temperature

higher random text random text temperature
Why does it find higher random text random text tem pattern? If I understand this correctly, it shouldn't find it because there are much more than 6 characters between hig and tem. But it finds it… Why? I don't understand am I doing something wrong or is it a bug in MS Word?higher temperature
