Overlapping matches for a regex

800351Oct 9 2007 — edited Oct 10 2007

For the text "uncle alice sea jshell sea ejp", the actual text is huge and multilined though, the regex

(?s)\b\w+\b\W*sea\W*\b\w+\b

finds only "alice sea jshell". It can't find "jshell sea ejp". What should I have done to retrieve these overlapping matches?
