Stata's regular expression parser has many limitations, but this is
not one of them.  The "^" has told the parser  to look only for digits
at the start of a line.

For example, if you type ^[0-9]+  in the "find what" box, it finds all
expressions of a series of digits in the do file. But it only find
those digit series that are at the very beginning of a line, not those
that are somewhere in the middle of a line, or even those that start
at a line after one space.
