- the regexes are used to exclude some files or folders; if you only want to index files that match a given regex, you will have to write the opposite regex to exclude the other files, which can be quite tricky
This is true, in case anyone ever wants to write complex regex that negate conditions.  Thanks for clarifying that the feature is designed mainly to perform global exclusion from indexes.
