This is a very old thread (so old in fact that the last post before yours was before Publisher was released for sale). Regex was one of the things that we asked for during the public beta and Serif implemented before release.
There are still improvements that are needed, but the main purpose of this thread has long been satisfied.
 

Hi, I'm Ravi. I have started using Affinity products very recently, mostly Publisher and Designer.
I'm a long-time user of InDesign and Illustrator (& other Adobe products as well).
It's wonderful to see this vibrant community of Affinity users.
Hope to learn how users use these tools in their day-to-day workflows.
Thank you.

@Ravi.For what it’s worth if you want to make the clear and dropper icon big in publisher again go into preferences and (I think general) select use monochrome icons. It doesn’t do anything you’d expect, but it does change the size of the clear colour and eyedropper icons! 😳 
The change also seems to persist on restart and for new documents
