Question

I need to configure superboxselect component of extjs4 and make it search with regular expression. Does anybody have any idea which function should i override or does extjs already have a function or attribute which supports this?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t fully understand your question but ExtJS supports Regular Expressions.
You can search a string with RegExp like this:

var regex = /in/g; //or new RegExp("in","g");
var result = regex.exec("this is the string to search in");
console.log(result[1]);

From the docs:

If the match succeeds, the exec method returns an array and updates
properties of the regular expression object. The returned array has
the matched text as the first item, and then one item for each
capturing parenthesis that matched containing the text that was
captured. If the match fails, the exec method returns null.
