I agree.  I've also made a little perl script that allows you to enter a 
regex (cut-and-paste from SA rules etc) then it runs it against any 
dictionaries you have installed on your system (/usr/share/dict/... etc).  
I can make it available to the list if anyone is interested.


I'm curious though - what web-based search engines allow arbitary regex (and 
perl regex) to be entered as a search phrase?  Google/Yahoo/MSN/Ask 
Jeeves/etc don't AFAIK, but I was wondering if there was somewhere else 
that does?

Cheers,

James
