I'm trying to find instances of the following string
(where the quotation mark is a curly opening quotation mark)
I want to exclude matches where the string is preceded by a word, preceded by a closing curly quotation mark. e.g.

However, as soon as I add the quatifier "+" I get the error message for invalid Regex.
I was under the impression that 2.4.2's regex natively allows for indefinite length lookbehinds. What am I doing wrong? Is there some a different syntax that needs to be used for indefinite length lookbehinds?
