Feature Request: Use Regular Expressions to search passwords

I'm dealing with some password breaches that were found by McAfee. They will allow me to view the email and password from the breach, but they only give the first two and last two characters of the compromised password (sensibly enough). That makes it really tough to search through my vault to find which password was compromised. As much as I hate dealing with RegEx, it would be nice if the search bar allowed an advanced search mode that supported something like RegEx so I can make a more thorough search through my vault for the offending items.

    Hi @cfbenbow, thanks for reaching out about this! I can definitely understand how this type of advanced search mode would be helpful for situations like this. We've heard similar feedback from other users too, and I've passed your feedback along to our Product team for further consideration.

    In the meantime, is the Watchtower feature able to identify these compromised passwords for you?
