[Boost-users] problem with boost regex search

hello, When I enter the following reg-ex: "^.*ab+c+d+" for the following text: "aaaabbbcccdddee" the text found is:"aaaabbbcccd". The text found should be: "aaaabbbcccddd". Digging deeper, its seems that the reg-ex function ignores the last character if it is a "+". This is just using boost::regex_search with the flags = boost::match_any and boost::match_not_null Am I missing something here?
