LYNX-DEV Question about LYSearch.c/textsearch()

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

Question for folk familar with this function.

It looks like, from a simple look at the code, that lines similar to:


                    if ((cp = (char *)HTList_objectAt(search_queries,
                                                      QueryNum)) != NULL &&
                        !strcmp(prev_target_buffer, cp)) {
                        break;
                    }

take care of the actual comparisons being done in the whereis functionality.


What I am wondering about is the possibility of replacing strcmp with a
function which does some regular expression matching.  Are there any
'gotchas' here that I should be sure to consider before embarking on
such an experiment?
