For those that don't know regexps but want to have "wildcarded" searches
consisting of one or more strings that must appear in order, e.g.
`money', `mouth', `13', join them together with `.*', that means any
character repeated zero or more times, to give `money.*mouth.*13'.  If
you only want those that start with the first string then prepend `^',
and for those that end with the last string, append `$'.
