BUG: Hebrew Search, Verba Geminata

I thought that L4 didn't support regular expression searches but it appears that it might at least partially. Either way there are some odd results. The following examples are from the AFAT.

lemma:/.(.)\1/@v - 1621 (Libronix gets 1702 occurrences, perhaps I missed a database revision?)
I then tried lemma:/.(.)\1/@Vc and lemma:/.(.)\1/@Vb both searches got 1621 results

It seems that this search partially work in that I can construct a search that finds Verba Geminata but if I try to limit any way beyond that the search ignores my further parameters.

Here is the thread where this was discovered: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/19904.aspx

RegExp works partially, some options work (i=ignore case) and some don't (r=right to left). But it is not supported http://community.logos.com/forums/p/12047/94313.aspx#94313

Regular expressions are undocumented because they're unsupported. They may work (to some degree) in the current beta (and, as you've found out, there are bugs), but they're not currently part of the official feature set. They may change or be removed in a future release.

I haven't used regular expressions myself in Logos, but it would be too bad if the feature were completely discontinued.
