TextPad "find in files" not matching on simple OR regex


I've tried searching files for either/or word scenarios and they always fail to find any results in TextPad.

An example is trying to find something like summer|winter where I want to return any files that contain either the word "summer" or the word "winter".

This regex works fine in other programs like Notepad++. Why doesn't it work in TextPad?
