2. Search for "[^]he" and replace a string

That's an invalid regex. We should handle that more gracefully than a browser error, of course.

Fixed in r57707

4. Opern serach and replace and search for [a-z][^]st and replace it with QA
5. Click on "Replace All"

<< Message : The regular expression you entered is invalid: Expected ']' in regular expression >>

6. Then the search string change for [a-z][^ ]st

<<Test replace with QA>>

<<[a-z][^]st and [a-z][^ ]st both regular expressions are work in all other browsers>>

<<Opera 9.6 [a-z][^]st not find any strings and [a-z][^ ]st is replacing the the search sting>>

Expected Outcome::
regular expression replace should be same for all the browsers

We can't help that some browsers have different ideas of valid regexes than others. Not our fault, so reclosing. AFAIK, [^] is an invalid regex.
