Except they're not complex. You'll note this bug does not request arbitrarily
complex combinations of features and patterns - just something pretty
straightforward.

Indeed, that extension exists. While this decreases from the "severity" of the
need to implement the feature, it also indicates it is significant enough for
someone to have written an extension which covers it. So IMHO that about
balances out the impact of the existence of an extension on a missing feature
bug.


It should also be mentioned that the extension does not replace or integrate
into the Search dialog; it is accessible through Tools | Add-Ons, and is a bit
intimidating for inexperienced users due to various aspects of its UI. (I use
it of course.)
