Therefore, in my opinion, there is not much to document in XXE.
I agree that most users won't need detailed information about the subtleties of RegExp syntax. However, I would suggest including your above paragraph starting with "XXE uses..." and the link in XXE's documentation at the appropriate place, so that those who want to know more can refer to this page. >> [...] I would like to state the following as a RFE: >> >> 1) The character tool should be enhanced with a function that copies >> the selected character to the clipboard instead of inserting it into >> the document, for later pasting into the search field.

I am looking forward to XXE V. 2.11, trying to keep up with XXE's fast development pace - XXE is already such a wonderful and powerful tool that I find it surprising that you still can imagine ways to constantly enhance it.
