I think that would make for a better user experience.

My personal preference here would be that the search was NOT a regular
expression search by default, and that the search results page offered
regex search as an option once you got that far.

So maybe the right thing to do here is to have a checkbox that says,
"Search using a regular expression" ? So normally it's just a literal
pattern, but if you check the box it's a regex. While that solves the
problem, it does so by pushing the decision onto the user, which
arguably isn't ideal. 

 

Any input here? I'm not 100% sure what to do.

OK, so the problem here is that the search textbox accepts a regular
expression as input [1]. Well, "?home" is an illegal regular expression.
I guess the thing to do here is to display a more friendly error
message? Or were you looking for some other behavior? 

can it behave just like the other characters like /, &, #, etc? or yeah,
a more friendly error message above or within the search.aspx page... :)
