In fact, that is not completely exact. You can search for a regular expression from FoxTrot Pro's system menu, but only if you use the "Matches the FoxTrot query" operator, and type a FoxTrot query that specifies both a regular expression and some other words.
For example, the following FoxTrot query, when applied to the filename only, will find documents whose name contain the word "html", and whose name ends with ".html", and whose name contains a 4-digit number starting with "20"
html `\.html$` `\b20\d\d\b`
For this to work from the system menu, first perform a search with "filename only" and "matches the FoxTrot query", then create a search template from this search, and make sure to set this template as the default one (FoxTrot icon). If you don't create a template, then searches from the system menu will be performed using the same criteria as the last search you ran.

Second, it's rock solid. Hasn't crashed once (Entourage crashed
regularly). Third, searches are lightening fast, very impressive
facility. Fourth, it has a very nice filtering capability, at least
as strong as Entourage and probably stronger (my rules sets are fairly
straightforward). Fifth, it auto syncs with AddressBook without the
need for external scripts like in Entourage."
