You can get used to regexps in a short time if you _want_ and _need_
to use them. We are talking about people who do not care about them,
and for whom this will only be an annoyance. I do not think that the
interface should be complicated for most people, just for the benefit
of a handful of power users.

Let's admit it, even for people who like to use regexps, most of the
time searches in bibliography do not require them. This is just a
nifty gadget.
