It makes sense that "word regexp" and "fixed string" are mutually exclusive. I don't know what combining them would even mean.

Is the data file structured in any way? That could be useful.

You answered me, but didn't answer my question:

Does performance actually get worse? Or does it just take 100,000x longer to process a 100,000x larger file? About how many matches are you expecting?

Please don't ask technical questions in private messages.

By 'structure of the file', I mean, is the data file you're searching for, a specific column in a flat text file or some such?
