"Does anyone know..."

There are more than 43,000 posts containing a variant of this phrase, "Does anyone know how...". That is a colloquial term for "how", but it is literally a different question, so it is not clear. (Do people really want to know if someone knows something,? No, they are asking "how?")

As shown in the linked RegEx101, it's not a straight-forward replacement, except in a subset of cases. It would probably require a two-stage replacement, ala firstcaps.
