this
pulls up every file with six capital or lowercase letters in a row - mixed
Do the square bracket classes work in Everything?

The regex: modifier uses the current "Match Case" setting from the Search menu.
Please try searching for:
case:regex:[A-Z]{6}
the case: modifier will enable case matching, or alternatively, enable Match Case from the Search menu.

And case: has to be "directly connected" to regex: (no intervening space).
"case:regex:" vs "case: regex:"
Why is that?

modifiers must prefix a search term.
Everything treats spaces as the AND operator.
eg:
case: regex:
expands to:
case: AND regex:
case: on its own is the same as case:"" or an empty search term, which will match everything.
