Word Add-in API in Search method not working when region selected Slovenian(Slovenia)

Question

Hello Team,
I am using Word API for developing word add-in. I have used search method for searching all number from the word document. When I am using Slovenian(Slovenia) region then this method throw error and if I am using English(United States) then search method working fine.

I have used this regex : [0-9,.]{1,}

Snippet :

var Prange = context.document.getSelection();  
 context.load(Prange, 'text');  
await context.sync();  
var searchResults = Prange.search('[0-9,.]{1,}', { matchWildcards: true });  
context.load(searchResults, 'text,font');  
await context.sync();  

Console Error :

Debug info: {"code":"GeneralException","message":"GeneralException","errorLocation":"","statement":"_Search2.load(["text","font"]);","surroundingStatements":["var v = context.root._getObjectByReferenceId("01D!00000010") /* originally getSelection() /;","var _Search2 = v._Search2(...);","// Instantiate {_Search2}","// >>>>>","_Search2.load(["text","font"]);","// <<<<<","var contentControls = v.contentControls;","// Instantiate {contentControls}","contentControls.load();"],"fullStatements":["var v = context.root._getObjectByReferenceId("01D!00000010") / originally getSelection() */;","var _Search2 = v._Search2("[0-9,.]{1,}", 4);","// Instantiate {_Search2}","_Search2.load(["text","font"]);","var contentControls = v.contentControls;","// Instantiate {contentControls}","contentControls.load();"]}  

When region is English (United States) :

When region is Slovenian(Slovenia) :

Why this same regex is not working for Slovenian(Slovenia) region.
Please provide any solution for this issue.
