Do it on the server.
Oh. my. god. there is a guy on the internet making comics about my life. oO
I've got the exact same function (also php) but mine is called print_arr() as in array.

Normal German layout, with some keys (braces and other programming stuff) mapped to the home row with caps lock as the modifier key. So <caps lock>+h = $ for example -> sucks to program on computers not owned by me ;)

I also consider to switch the y and z keys like in the us layout, because i need the y key way more often (copy selection in vim) and find it very uncomfortable to reach.

>>Would it really? I'd like to see some hard data on that.

The process would be this:

-> User submits Regex

-> Google fetches all documents in it's database (46 billion documents according to mryan) - If we assume 1kb of data per document (wich is probably way to small), google just fetched 43869 GigaByte of data

-> now google somehow iterates over said 43869Gb (we assume we have a lot of RAM btw.) and check if the regex matches any of them

-> Search results are delivered to user (days later?)

I can not give you any "hard facts", but the problem is that if you can not build an index, you have to look at each individual document. And in google's case the amount of documents is just way too high.

I guess the main problem is that you really can't build an index for regexes, you would need to apply the search regex "live" to all the documents the searchengine knows - this will not scale at all.

Also, if you let a user search for any regex, it would be really easy to overload the server, by entering very complex regexes.
