I found the following in Help manual:

Regular expression
> If you have installed the KRegExpEditor tool from the kdeutils package, you
> will have this additional option. Enabling it will allow you to search for a
> regexp or regular expression. A regexp is a way to specify conditions for
> your search, and they can be very complex, and equally they can be very
> powerful. If you are unfamiliar with regular expressions, you can choose
> Edit Regular Expression to open KRegExpEditor. This tool allows you to
> construct your set of conditions graphically, and then generates the
> expression for you.
> KRegExpEditor is a very useful tool, and can be used from within many KDE
> applications other than KFind. You can find more information from within its
> own help file.


I install kdeutils with apt-get but I don't have any Regular Expresion check
box nor somethink like :-(
