Yes, you are right. Having only used it for searching using IUB
ambiguity codes I assumed that when it was prompting for 'search
pattern' it would accept some sort of regular expression whose syntax
was described elsewhere in the docs.

I've just tried it with GCG and Unix regexp type patterns and it
doesn't accept them. Now I know!
