Can't happen*, that's the problem. If you have full Regex, it's near-impossible to have letter-skipping. Unless I'm missing something.

3 travel modes fix all problems. 

Configuration by specifying name of the class that implements matcher algorithm

By default 3 modes could be provided:

* set travel_matcher = 'TM_Normal'

Travel will act like find and query will be sent to RegEx engine as literal (between \Q and \E , that is, all RE chars escaped)

* set travel_matcher = "TM_Lazy"

Travel will act like it is acting at the moment. Query will be changed so that all special RE chars are escaped except ^$,and .* will be inserted in between (so that you can skip letters) before RegEx engine is invoked.

* set travel_matcher = "TM_re"

Full blown RE, query is sent as it is to RegEx engine.

In this case Joshuas version could be simply set up as

class Matcher(str) ... 

...

set travel_mode = "Matcher"
