With CirrusSearch now enabled and running fairly well, it is now possible to do regex searches. For example, To search for {{tag|center|o}}, you would use insource:/\<center\>/. It should be able to use search to create lists. There are currently limitations on the number of regex searches that can be performed simultaneously.

Figured out how to make this work but it is a bit weird.

[[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] thanks! I wonder if we should something in the manual and in which place. There were a lot of questions/requests/complains about CirrusSearch.

If I do an on-wiki search for insource:/\<center\>\<gallery/i I get 38 pages (seems like it always reports one more than actual). If I do the same search in AWB I get 0 pages. If I search wiki or AWB for <code><nowiki>"gallery" insource:/\<center\>\<gallery/i I get 17 pages. If I search for "e" insource:/\<center\>\<gallery/i I get 22 pages (''e'' is the most common letter in the English alphabet). If I search for "a" insource:/\<center\>\<gallery/i I get 37 pages (''a'' is the second most common letter in the English alphabet). I don't understand why AWB needs this prefixed search. There were issues with insource searches when CS was first introduced, but they seem to have been resolved.

I belive this is a feature request for AutoWikiBrowser and it seems pretty clear what is wanted for it. Feel free to remove the project CirrusSearch if you belived it was something that was wanted from that.
