In Log4om it is possible to use regular expressions for searches and enquiries.

As an example the other day a friend of mine wanted to searches his logbook for all of the QSO's he had had with the following prefixes

G3
GM3
GW3
GI3
GD3
GJ3
GU3

Using the regular expression % (Percentage sign) it was possible to set up a 'Search Parameter' G%3% (G percent sign 3 percent sign)

This is just one example of the power of regex (Regular expressions) let's have some more examples posted in this thread!

In fact it would be good if we could compile a list of the most usefull ones and their application to Log4om searches

Well, this is a pure SQL expression, but Regular Expressions can be even more powerful.
Regular Expressions are used to "explore" the cluster searching for IOTA references, Flora Fauna references and almost every kind of information.

I've plans to read also strings like JN65EO<->JN66AB from cluster to be able to set the right locator for the call... (please someone can tell me on what side is the counterpart and on what side is my station? :) )
