Implement simple partial matching for regex in /api/search/{domain} by DL6ER · Pull Request #2705 · pi-hole/FTL

DL6ER · 2025-11-09T10:18:35Z

What does this implement/fix?

Implement partial matching for regular expressions. Note that this will only work for literal parts of regular expressions and will not find complicated regular expressions.

This change allows to find literal parts in regular expressions like gofile in a regex like

^store[0-9]+\.gofile\.io$

Complex regular expressions such as

^junk\.[a-z]*\.com$

will still not be found by example even though junk.example.com would be blocked by the regex above. This is expected and actually both by design (many regular expressions have [a-z0-9]* parts) and by concept (partial matching in complex regular expressions is a difficult problem).

To bring this to the attention of the user, pi-hole/web#3654 amends the description of the partial matching checkbox:

Just thinking out loud here, but assuming that it's computationaly too much to "just" take the list of each regex a user may have in their list and then test them against the query that is being passed into -q?

DL6ER · 2025-11-09T18:46:52Z

That's exactly what we are doing already. However, the user wants to match abc when the regex is something much more complicated, possibly with anchors, like `^domain.abctelecom.net$. There is just no way this regex would match anything else than the real domain.

I'm still unsure about adding partial regex search.

I think users expect an "impossible" result from the partial match.

Apparently some users expect that the "partial regex match" would return results if any possible match of a regex contains the search string.
In other words, they expect a regex would be transformed into a list of all possible domains that will match the regex and then the search would return all list items containing the search string.

Example:
Imagine the search string is abc.

The list of all possible matches for ^domain.abctelecom.net$ is only the domain "domain.abctelecom.net", so this regex matches the search.
The list of all possible matches for ^domain.xyztelecom.net$ is only the domain "domain.xyztelecom.net", so this regex doesn't match the search.
The list of all possible matches for ^(a|b)bc\.com$ has only 2 domains: "abc.com" and "bbc.com", so this regex also matches the search for abc.

But that logic is impractical.
We can't list all possible matches for ^[a-z]*\.com$ and then search for the string on the list.

DL6ER · 2025-11-10T08:33:37Z

Yes, exactly. That's why this PR adds naive literal matching for regular expressions. If they have 1 million regex and remember they have to use gofile\.io, then they will find their regex. If they search for gofile.io, then no match will be found. That's the fundamental limitation and what held me back initially adding this. However, after having thought about it somewhat more, I think it doesn't hurt to have it - even when it has only limited utility, it is still far from being a "useless" feature what we add here.
