How to find values smaller than another value in Notepad++?

Question

I have an html file with subtitles and their position on screen.

Here is a sample of the data:

<p begin="00:00:01.909" end="00:00:04.118" tts:origin="12.500% 84.667%">
  <span><span>Housewives of Beverly Hills"...<style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontSize="18px" tts:fontStyle="italic"/> </span>
  <style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontSize="18px"/></span>
</p>
<p begin="00:00:04.196" end="00:00:05.745" tts:origin="10.000% 84.667%">
  <span>- My husband has an RV.
  <style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontSize="18px"/></span>
</p>
<p begin="00:00:05.822" end="00:00:07.413" tts:origin="10.000% 79.333%">
  <span>I think we should do
  <style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontSize="18px"/></span>
</p>

I would like to find all values under "15.000%" in Notepad++ How can I do it?

Here you'll find the whole file content in case you need it to inspect.

Do you just want to find the value, or the element containing that value? — jsheeran, May 01 '19 at 07:57
Please, add some real code instead of a screenshort. So we can better test the regexes. — Julio, May 01 '19 at 10:19

What exactly must be selected? Whole `
` tags? Just the opening `
` tag? Perhaps just the subtitle text? Please, show us the way :-) — Julio, May 01 '19 at 18:55
I just want to highlight all numbers lower than 15.000 in the text. These lines will show all subtitles lines where I need to modify the positions. — Hakunamatata67, May 01 '19 at 19:10

You may try searching on the following regex pattern:

(?:1[0-4]|[0-9])(?:\.\d+)?%

Thank you, but when I put my text in the "Test string" field, it don't find anything. – Hakunamatata67 May 01 '19 at 08:08
Are you searching in regex mode? Click the regex search option and try again. – Tim Biegeleisen May 01 '19 at 08:09

I think you should add a word boundary. Besides that, I think this regex should work if OP just wants to select the number. @Hakunamatata67, this should work... Have you tried with 'regex mode'? – Julio May 07 '19 at 11:00
Sorry for being dumb, but where's the regex search option to activate the 'regex mode'? – Hakunamatata67 May 07 '19 at 21:02
When you press `CTRL` + `F` the dialog box which pops up should have a button for choosing regex mode. – Tim Biegeleisen May 07 '19 at 23:53
Sorry, I don't have the 'Regex mode' option (I'm using Firefox) – Hakunamatata67 May 19 '19 at 06:57
Then why did you tag your question with Notepad++? – Tim Biegeleisen May 19 '19 at 07:38
