[Feature Request] Allow regex in search #169

Closed knkski closed 1 year ago

knkski commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the great app! I'm wondering if it would make sense to allow for using a regex to search. Sometimes, I'd like to find all words that match a patterns such as a.*b.*c, and as far as I can tell that functionality doesn't exist. Does it make sense to add that in? I might be able to open a PR myself too if that would be preferred.
