How about visual isearch? #21

Just installed vr, and it's wonderful. Many thanks.

I was thinking of using it to replace C-s and M-%, but don't see a normal vr/isearch method without replace. Would be a great way to learn re also.

Is this in the offing?

For regular Emacs regexp, there is isearch-forward-regexp, which is interactive, so you have immediate feedback. For Python regexp, take a look at visual-regexp-steroids (vr/isearch-forward).

You can also use pcre2el for isearch with PCRE style regexp.
