Because it obscures things by modifying the user's input. It's quite attractive for simpler cases but may be cumbersome in more complicated expressions. > I feel we can just add note saying 'that will create a regular > expression'? And silently escape an "ends with" search input of "my $.02 (maybe more)" to "my \$\.02 \(maybe more\)$" Not that we might introduce errors in escaping the input ;-) > And when the user re-opens the dialog he/she can actually see the > regular expression constructed. What if the user not familiar with regexps then would like to edit the content to search for a slightly modified string? It will get more twisted once we implement the simple DOS style "use * and ? wildcards" that people know from Excel as document option; ends with "on?y*.*" would change to "on.y.*\..*$". Just explain that to the user. We should remember the original input and setting anyway to be able to save it in Excel format. And once saved to and reloaded from ODF format it would be lost. We could reconstruct it from the regexp, but doing this in roundtrips does not sound very appealing. Another aspect is performance. A regexp search is ways slower than a simple string search. So I clearly recommend the clean solution of new table:operator attributes for the table:filter-condition element.
