We will add some hover text to the Search field so that the user knows it also supports regular expressions.
If you specify an option to search using regular expressions then it does satisfy otherwise, it does not satisfy. I, the 8 that voted for this and most likely users of the RSS example search don't know you can search using regular expression. I wonder if by adding a check box to trigger regular expression search it would have made this RFE needless.
Personally, I don't really want to have to use regular expression syntax for a simple search such as "create function" because my expectation is that my search is not complicated, and thinking about searching using regular expressions is not intuitive.
The good thing about this RFE is that I have forced myself to experiment with searches in the examples window. I now see how the search is being done whereas before I really never paid enough attention to that part.
Thank you for submitting a Request For Enhancement. The current Search filters as you type and supports regular expressions. So instead of typing ???create function", you could type ???create.*function" to satisfy the example you provided. Does this satisfy the request? If not, please provide additional details.
Actually, it would be great if you could search the examples by tokens and by sentences. The search for tokens could be triggered by entering the tokens. The search for sentences, on the other hand, could be started by entering a list of words in single or double quotes.
