So, what I'm thinking is that it would be really cool to be able to optionally add an 'autodetect' pattern for _any_ search. Kinda' like Tim suggested:

The only problem is that separating the regex from the search file would remove the autonomy aspect of the search, which I really like. It also prevents the possibility of having a function determine if there's a match instead of a regex. Thinking out loud some more... how about adding another checkbox to the help window for enabling or disabling the 'autodetect' for a search if the search author supplied an autodetect routine?
