Correct.  We will probably upgrade it to include support for regex's
soon... but time has been short and neither of us have had the motivation
to see it get done. ;)

You would you do a fuzzy search, any idea's you're willing to contribute?
It will already search for any substring of what you put in and I haven't
had too many problems.  My main reason for wanting regex support is so I
can search for things like:

mail$	or ^x

and delimit the substring when I do searches.
