It would be nice if UR Search will support RegEx.

It's rather rudimentary and restrictive.
For example, searching "Calhoun v. Calhoun" or "Parker v. Rodwell" at the beginning of any paragraphs. This is impossible with the current version of UR.

you could use NEAR: Parker NEAR Rodwell
not exactly what you look for, but should be good enough, or no?

Quant,
Thanks for valuable feedback. I almost forgot NEAR. As a whole, the current version of UR provides enough basic search operators.
