Hi Franck,

We already have a "ki_keywords" property which does the same thing as 
your proposed "CompactedFamily" property.  This property already exists 
so search tags should added to the existing property.

As for regular expression search, that is a new feature and would not be 
back ported to the 6.0 branch.

Cheers,

Wayne
