Search query not working with $

So in php, this code works for finding a specific url, while avoiding any instance where there’s children pages in the url, and replacing it:

$str = [];
$str[0]  = 'https://www.ascentfunding.com/college-loans/for-students/faqs/';
$str[1]  = '"/college-loans/for-students/"';
$str[2]  = '"https://www.ascentfunding.com/college-loans/for-students"';
$str[3]  = 'https://www.ascentfunding.com/college-loans/for-students';
$str[4]  = '"https://www.ascentfunding.com/college-loans/for-students/faqs/"';
for ($i=0; $i<=4; $i++)
{
    $str[$i] = preg_replace('/["]*^(.*)\/college-loans\/for-students(["\/]*)$/', '\1/bright-futures\2', $str[$i]);
    echo "str after replace:", $str[$i], "\n";
}

But when I try to use the search regex plugin to search for:

‘/[“]*^(.*)\/college-loans\/for-students([“\/]*)$/’

I get no results. I know there are instances of /college-loans/for-students/ within href values – does this plugin not allow the ‘$’ ?
