Fnmatch support is in apr(-util?) and has known access/performance patterns,
so we might be able to move the search handling to the server in the future
for performance reasons.
Complete regular expression support would at least require using a new third
party library and moving it to the server is not really possible because
complete regular expression processing can be way to expensive.
