Subject: -titleregex only searches mainspace
Original description:
Using the -titleregex parameter to a replace.py on the wikimedia commons only gets me hits in the main  \(gallery\) space not in file/image space where I need it to.  setting -namespace:6 does nothing and setting -prefixindex:file 'adds' mainspace content with the word file in front.  The same result is obtained when attempting to look in userspace \(though I didn't try it with -namespace:\).  An example is:
python replace.py -titleregex:".\*Nietzsche.\*" foooooooo bar

version.py output:
