Might just disable regular expression support in --search by default (haven't seen anybody using it, but tons of people getting confused by it).

This would probably be the best route and should speed up the default provided
searching function quite a bit.

regular expressions are now disabled by default in r3876, can be reeanbled by prefixing the search string with %.

This has been fixed for some time now.
