How to use findstr with regular expression

By default findstr does the comparison with regular expression. However, what surprised me is that the following command does not work.

 findstr "abc|def" test.txt

when test.txt has only abc in it.

According to the online tutorial such as https://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html, abc|efg should match abc. Why?

The reason is pretty simple, findstr does not support the full range of the regular expression. It does not support ?, {n}.

Some basic things works: 

findstr "abc.*" test.txt

findstr "[0-9a-f].*" test.txt
