The default regex package is java.util.regex and I can't see anywhere
that you tell it to use the Jakarta regexp package. So I don't think
that ".in" will match. Also, you are storing your contents field as
NOT_ANALYZED so you will need to be wary of case sensitivity. Maybe
this is what you want, but maybe not.
