Unable to format RegEx to handle Dollar Sign ($) - regex

Question

I am stuck trying to figure out how to get a RegEx text search to work with a dollar sign. Let's say I have two strings:
TestPerson One | 123456789 | ($100.00) | $0 | 03/27/2018 | Open
TestPerson Two | 987654321 | ($250.00) | ($25) | 03/27/2018 | Open
Using jQuery, I am creating the RegEx. If I was to search for TestPerson, the RegEx would look like this:
/^(?=.*\bTestPerson).*$/i
This would return both strings, as they both contain TestPerson. If I try and search for $, I get zero results even though both strings contian a $. I know the dollar sign is a special character in RegEx, but escaping it does not work either.
How can I format my RegEx to where searching for $ will return both results?
Thanks!

Answer 1

I think this seems multiline modifier on-off problem. I guess you turned off the multiline modifier and implemented the regex so the unexpected output results. Demo
If you turned on the multiline modifier, you could get the output you want. Demo

To check whether or not a string contains a substring, you don't regex: JavaScript has the string method includes(). This method searches a string for a given value and returns true if it exists in the string and false otherwise.
var a = [
'TestPerson One | 123456789 | ($100.00) | $0 | 03/27/2018 | Open',
'TestPerson Two | 987654321 | ($250.00) | ($25) | 03/27/2018 | Open'
]
a.forEach(function(s) {
console.log(s.includes('TestPerson') && s.includes('$'))
})
