Right now the 3.2 code has the beginnings of a regex fuzzy match. As it
stands, you'd want
home.* to match every word starting with home. Even then, it doesn't
anchor the matches, so it would also match words with home* somewhere in
it!
There's more work needed on the htsearch code to keep it from stripping
out characters like '.' and '?' so that regex matching works correctly.

If you just want prefix regex, you can already get this going. I believe
the default prefix char is '*' so if you turned on prefix in
search_algorithms, it would work.
