Public bug reported:

Going off the user suggestion at
http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=92&p=19054#p18722 and
practical experience of having to filter searchRoom() results (or create
own search function based off getRooms()), it would be really useful of
searchRoom() accepted a second parameter that defined the search type -
none for the default of substring, and then "perl regex" for perl regex,
"exact match" for an exact match, "begin of line substring" and
"substring".

I'm not sure how to deal with cases yet - there will be times when you
will not have exact case of the string you're searching for. Perhaps the
perl regex search pattern with an (?i) will take care of it, though -
might be better than introducing a third argument into the mix.
