No response
Additional context
In the orgmode manual section linked above, it appears that they do a regex search on the actual content of a headline. My intended use case is actually detailed here, and seems to involve expanding a regex when searching for a tag match. I'm not exactly sure where that behavior is documented, but it would be nice to have such a filter.
I may be able to help implementing this if given someplace to start.

Research direction
Start with the linked Org manual section and Stack Overflow example to understand headline regex search versus regex-expanded tag matching. Then locate the repository's search and tag-matching entry points and determine the intended behavior before implementation. Done means the requested regex-based tag filter is supported with behavior that can be verified.
