Regex search + saved/named searches with operators #125

Description

@ipapakonstantinou

New community gap (re-scan). Source: community research. Distinct from the tracked search/perf item (this is query power, not speed).

What users want: full regex matching across search operators, and saving complex queries under a friendly name.

"let regex work with tag: and section: search operators" (still doesn't) — https://forum.obsidian.md/t/let-regex-work-with-tag-and-section-search-operators/38599 ; saved-search aliases — https://forum.obsidian.md/t/aliases-for-aliases-for-saved-searches/12599

Demand: Med — several threads + Regex Search / Regex Find-and-Replace plugins.

noteser fit: Med-High — noteser's search is Fuse.js fuzzy (great for typos, not regex/operators). Additive: a separate regex/operator mode + savable named queries.

How: add an operator/regex search mode alongside Fuse fuzzy; let users save a query under a name (optionally drop a saved-search block into a note).
