FR: allow regular expressions for tag filtering

As the title tells, when filtering tags through filling, it would be great to have the option of allowing regular expressions.

For example, with that option enabled, "ide$", would catch all tags ending with "ide".

The equivalent FR as for regular search (not through Advanced search) on a PDF (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/97706/allow-regular-expressions-in-the-search-for-pdf-files#latest) or for general advanced search (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/117314/regex-on-advanced-search#latest)
  • Please, Zotero developers, consider this. It is very relevant with a very big collection of tags, allowing to filter, for example, tags starting with a letter and containing a certain pattern.

    An example where this would be useful. I wanted to look for clinical trials through their code, so I filtered tags by "NCT" (the initial characters of clinical.gov registered clinical trials). But, then, all tags containing function, or functionality, functional, functioning, which are a lot, and many others, also are included.
