Hi, Clifford. That's intentional on my part. I wanted to let the user know how the URL should look like based on match type. The user interface otherwise doesn't provide enough clues.

starts with: some people might see google.com and www.google.com as reasonable values, especially with Chrome hiding the full URL these days.

regex: some people might use /google\.com/ (common format for REGEX), so I wanted to make clear the forward slashes aren't needed.

I thought about instead providing a tooltip, but I also wanted to make sure the user confronts the match type change. I could see people changing the match type absent-mindedly and then have issues when they forget to the change the URL.

fair enough, but it'd be best to have sub-text showing examples like you just did above
