Thanks a lot for a quick and clear response.
This is by far the best mailing list I'm on in terms of fast, helpful responses -- even after 10 years of using vi/vim, I still regularly learn new things here.
I tried googling the matter with many keywords without success. My ignorance in regular expressions is evident though.
For any particular regular-expression, I'm not sure you'd have much luck googling outside of a few common cases (basic email address, IP addresses, numbers, etc). But if you invest the time to learn how regexps work (and there are plenty of google-able websites such as www.regular-expressions.info that teach regexps), they're almost a programming language onto themselves, so you can learn to write them yourself as needed. Most of the concepts are the same, but there are minor difference in syntax across libraries (vim vs perl vs python vs sed vs ...), but once you learn the concepts, you just search your use-specific help (such as vim's help) for how to write the concept you want.
