"Next" doesn't work while "run" for the same regex does

So I have this saved query to find me all heading

When I Advanced cursors: run it works properly and selects all headings in the file. However, using Advanced cursors: next for the very same saved query, it does find anything

Indeed... I have looked around a little, but couldn't immediately figure out the issue. I will keep trying when I am able

One solution, I think, is to swap start of line ^ with new line \n. This will catch all headings except one at the top of a note

But I'll obvs try solve the underlying issue :)

Edit: Adding the m flag to a regex query should allow this to work

> I see the issue. I run the regex against the entire content of the note. So there is only one start of line ^, the start of the entire note.
