does apioforum support regex searching
and if not, why not
no, but it does support sqlite fts5 query syntax
why not: because evaluating a regex against every single post ever would be unfathomably slow. instead we use sqlite's fts5 (full text search) extension to index posts by words that appear in them (or something, i'm not sure how it works actually).
that would only search post titles and would only search exact matches, which is worse than either of the two methods heretofore mentioned
