Is "Regular Expression Search" just a parent node of its children, or
does it have content of its own (apart of the menu)?  If the former,
we need a subsection about searching with regexps, after we describe
the regular expressions.  If the latter, then do you suggest to
describe the search before describing the regexps themselves?
