I have been looking into this, but I know too little about them to make my current scripts work along side one of them. If you can help me out that would be greatly appreciated.
It's quite easy actually, so i can help, is your code on github?
Would be nice to have at least a link to a detailed spec of the supported RE syntax, for a not good example, http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html
No info for /u. And why it's not default?
Do you mean its not explained correctly or its not in the quickref? Its not enabled by default because it changes the behavior of many things, for example what \d and \w match. The user has to decide for himself what flags to use.

It's not in quickref. Of course it changes, and it should be default. There are languages other than English.

I'm not sure I agree it should be default; it's not expected behavior. Either way, there are too many flags to add them all to the quickref, I figured I would just show the most common.
I'm not sure if Rubular[1] or your site came first but the design is very similar. [1] http://rubular.com/
I have written about this in the about & credits pagr. I have also spoken to the author of rubular.
There are two things I need when it comes to regex: 1. The ability to escape a string when searching using vi: http://www.0x11.net/regex/escaper.py 2. Lots of regex examples with a description of how they work.
I would encourage anybody interested to try out the site's quiz. It starts out easily enough but eventually becomes extremely challenging. I also really like the community submitted regexes. But, on that note, what's to prevent someone from submitting all of the quiz solutions to the 'community'? Are the submissions occasionally moderated? I have appreciated this website for a while now. For those who don't know, Lin…
Thank you for the kind words! I moderate it myself fromtime to time. I hope nobody does something stupid like that; they gain nothing by it.

FWIW I find your light design inspired by rubular to be visually superior. The community feature is great however I assumed from the name that it would just be a forum, perhaps a different label would help show its utility - maybe "favourite regex"?

Re the quiz, in the first answer response it says "Excellent! I guess you have some regex knowledge, so let's get started!". Perhaps you should also add "Click a task below to continue." as it took me a few moments to work out how to continue. I expected that perhaps the "did i get it right" button my change to "continue" or something.
