Regular expression Keywords fail

[nyplayer]

This works on SageTV7 but does not work on SageTV9. I am finding out the Sage9 is more limited in the way you can define favorites than Sage7. They all worked fine in Sagetv7. I was wondering why some shows were not recording. It appears that SageTV9 does not handle regular expressions as good as SageTV7.

examples do not work.
keyword christmas "MV\d+"

Title Criminal Minds
keyword "EP\d+"
also
Category Docudrama
keyword "MV\d+"

I'll make a fix for this. It'll just require a setting to have it work the
legacy way which is slower and bypasses Lucene for search.

Does lucene not support regex searches?

[stuckless]

Lucene does not support regex searches, but it does support many other complex searches and wildcard searches.

https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html

Regex is basically a poor man's search engine... it works, but, not the most efficient way to search large collections.

is this of any help?

https://lucene.apache.org/core/3_0_3/api/contrib-regex/org/apache/lucene/search/regex/RegexQuery.html

I understand regex is far less efficient, but efficiency is hardly important for this part of the code, and maximum customizibility of the filters/queries would be more important.

I've submitted a change that fixes this and it is set that way by default. :)
