Hi

I did not realize it could do a regular expressions!

The problem is as follows. If I put in a regular expression in the main 
index screen (which lists all the various repo's), to search for a repo 
beginning with git which would be ^git but it returns the following:
cgit/?q=^git
instead of
cgit/?qt=grep&q=^git

It does work but for this screen it does not detect that it is a regular 
expression.

Regards
