VS.NET IDE: search/replace using regular expression

It is really a pain to use a completely different syntax each time I
want to do a search or replace using regular expressions in VS IDE.

Why don't you support the normal regex syntax, i.e. the one used by
..net Regex class (and virtually by everything else), in VS IDE for
search and replace?
