At the moment this is not supported (with any GUI port).  I believe
the idea is that if you are such an experienced user that you are
comfortable using regular expressions then you really should switch to
"/" and "%" for search and replace instead of using a dialog (it is
much faster!).  Implementing the above feature may encourage users to
use Vim in a "sub-optimal" way.

That is just my interpretation of the situation -- correct me if I am
wrong.  In any case, for the above reason I would not consider
implementing this feature.
