Cd.K Don't go all Tweedledee on me :-)
I was merely saying its in docs for the regexp operator. Which it is. Though not quite clear enough. The fact that regex in TW filters is limited in some ways is frustrating. Especially to users who understand regular expressions. I'm not clear how you could improve it regarding input of character class "[...]" in Advanced search. FYI, an issue of even more importance is that though you can use "capturing groups" in TW regexp filter there is no easy way to return those matches.
