How to search for regular expressions, as opposed to strings, in helm-org-ql

[bobf32]

E.g. <foo> to search for foo in foo bar but not foobar doesn't seem to work. I can only seem to find strings, not regexps.

Hello @bobf32,

Have you looked at the list of predicates in the documentation? Some of them support regexps.

I have indeed, and can see how it's done using sexp syntax, but helm-org-ql does not support this. It's not clear to me from the examples I've seen how it would be done using non-sexp syntax.

Well, maybe there are edge cases, but typing this into the prompt seems to work for me: heading-regexp:"T.ke" which matches a heading like Take over the world.

Error: insufficient user iq. I see it now: regexp:"\<foo\>" ftw. Thanks for bearing with me.

You're welcome.
