Dropbox API Explorer For - Search

I am using Dropbox API Explorer - Search API to Search for files and its content with mode as "filename_and_content". Does it support  Regular Expression in Query to Search using mode as "filename_and_content". Because when I am using the substring (say IP Address) it gives the correct result about all the listed files but with regular Expression (regex for IP Address) it does not provide me any files..

    No, The Dropbox API search functionality does not support Regular Expressions. I'll send this along as a feature request.
