David,

Regular expressions _do_ work in the standard filter, but just don't match plain
numeric values, which btw is the same for the "starts with" and "contains" in
"the other" spreadsheet application. Alphanumeric _is_ matched. And yes, also
for the filter dialog the online help refers the regular expressions, if you
take a look at the "More>>" section.

If your expressions didn't match it may have been that you entered wildcards
like you're used to with file names, which is not the same as regular
expressions. Note that for "any one character" instead of ? you use . a single
dot, and for "zero or more occurences of any character" instead of * you need to
enter .*

If you need further help with regular expressions please join the
[email protected] mailing list and give examples what exactly didn't work.
