PDB, WDB, and CDB signatures can use a regex feature to match domain names. At one time in the process we ran a filter search to speed up filtering out non-matching static patterns but were accidentally discarding the result. When tested, it turns out it wasn't working correctly anyways.
Since then, we've fixed some bugs and upgraded the regex implementation to the latest version. After re-testing, I have found that the filter_search() appears to be working correctly now, both in the unit tests and with the existing CDB signatures.
