Mouser,

Happy NEW YEAR!

Knowing that you are working on updates for your wonderfull :Thmbsup: tools, I have one request for FARR.

Sometimes an alias does not match the way you intended (or understood) especially with regular expressions this can happen.

Would it be possible to add a button to the edit group alias to copy the current FARR searchfield contents to the edit box with the label

    Test Regular Expression Here  no match.    or      Test Regular Expression Here  match

Alternatively you could fill the edit box with the current search field contents by default, then no button is needed 
Clearing the field by hand is easier than filling the editbox :D
