No response

Additional context

In the orgmode manual section linked above, it appears that they do a regex search on the actual content of a headline. My intended use case is actually detailed here, and seems to involve expanding a regex when searching for a tag match. I'm not exactly sure where that behavior is documented, but it would be nice to have such a filter.

I may be able to help implementing this if given someplace to start.

This can be done with the recent addition of custom agenda commands, but slightly differently from the link you provided. Something like this would work:

  org_agenda_custom_commands = {
    i = {
      description = 'Inbox',
      types = {
        {
          type = 'tags',
          match = '+inbox/!+TODO|+STARTED|+WAITING',
          org_agenda_todo_ignore_scheduled = 'all'
        },
      },
    },
  }
