+##! The text describes a performance issue with a simple regular expression "@{.*}" used for searching. The problem arises because the ".*" part matches any character zero or more times, which can lead to inefficient searching in some engines.

+##! We want to reduce the possibility of impacting performance by removing the strings we can match before the one we are looking, "@{"
+##! This regex avoids the double backtracking problem and ensures it finds the first "@{" efficiently.
