  Due to the increasing storage data on Web Applications, it becomes very
difficult to use only keyword-based searches to provide comprehensive search
results, thus increasing the difficulty for web users to search information on
the web. In this paper, we proposed using a combined method of keyword-based
and Regular expressions (regEx) searches to perform a search using strings of
targeted items for optimal results even as the volume of data around the world
on the Internet continues to explode. The idea is to embed regEx patterns as
part of the search engine's algorithm in a web application project to provide
strings related to the targeted items for more comprehensive coverage of search
results. The user's search query is a string of characters guided by search
boundaries selected from the entry point. The results returned from the search
operation are different results within a category determined by the search
boundaries. This is designed to be beneficial to a user who has an obscure idea
about the information he/she wanted to search but knows the boundaries within
which to get the information. This technique can be applied to data processing
tasks such as information extraction and search refinement.
