I am sure you may ask why not just use regexp for all operation!
The answer is I tried to use new search operator with all its search mode, but I realized there is some special setting in regexp search mode search::regexp so I used also regexp!

Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas! Let me how I can improve this handy plugin!
It can simply be added to the sidebar search (standard search)
