This is a case insenstive search and uses the Javascript Regular expression syntax.
Regular Expressions are for advanced users and folks who program.
Most Autofill users will be well served using the Autofill wizard to create autofill rules for themselves.

TIP: Autofill also supports lookbehind Regular Expression syntax (?<= and ?<!) that is not offered in JavaScript's RegExp object. This allows you to create highly complex text patterns such as the one below, which matches anything that contains "name" but is not immediately preceded by "first" or "last":

   (?<!first|last)name

This will, for example, match "name", "uname", "username", "artistname", and "bookname", but NOT "firstname" or "lastname". Lookbehind syntax only works on the name, id, and class attribute values; you cannot use lookbehinds when matching against field labels.

Regular Expression      Do not enclose Match with ⁄⁄
