intitle is word level though you can do phrase searching. Its pretty much
the same as a regular search but limited to the title field.
incategory:Foo OR intitle:Bar is a limitation I'm working on now. No idea
when it'll be avilable. Limitation comes from us trying to be cute with the
command parsing in Cirrus and not writing a whole grammar for the query
language.
Regexes only work for wikitext. This is a somewhat arbitrary decision on my
part - we need to made special ngram fields to accelerate the regex
searching and we only do that for wikitext. We _can_ do it for other fields
at the cost of update time and disk space.
