Build a pattern in small steps: match one piece, confirm it highlights what you expect, then add the next part.

How accurate are the results?

Why does my pattern match too much?
Quantifiers like .* are greedy and take as much text as they can. Try the lazy form .*? or a more specific character class.
Do flags change the result?
Yes. Flags such as global and case-insensitive change how many matches you get and how letters are compared.
