Regular expressions
“Regular expressions” are significantly different in OpenOffice.org from Microsoft Office's “Use wildcards”. See Help > Index tab > type in “regular expressions”. Some common examples are in Table 1. To use regular expressions, make sure the Regular expressions checkbox is checked. On reopening the Find / Replace dialog the Regular Expressions checkbox is always unchecked.

Thoughts?
I documented them in my book on Macro programming (Table 16 page 301), so obviously I thought that they were worth documenting.... :-)
I pulled the information directly from the help pages.
