This might be a useful feature if a) it ignores markup and b) offers an 
option for full vs. simplified REs. What flavor of REs would it use?

The reasons for ignoring markup are obvious enough and you may already 
have that in mind. Simplified vs. full RE syntax would be useful since 
many SDBs might not be technically oriented and constructing well 
formed REs that find what they are interested in, and only what they 
are interested in, might be a bit of a challenge. I would suggest 
making simplified REs the default.
