Why? It doesn’t provide any functionality.

TT-RSS Filters gives you all the info you really need for filters. Including not including delimeters.

Besides, once someone new(er) sees that, then Fox will receive a million questions on how to change the regex flags (i,u,g,m, etc.)

Just my 2 cents.

I think it makes the expected value for that input a bit clearer.

Also, I added the line about not including delimiters to that wiki page earlier today.

no, let’s not add random weird looking crap to the UI
