Use RegEx instead of Elastic Queries in your Search requests

Do you enjoy writing ElasticSearch queries within a REST API request? Because that is what People Data Labs makes you do with their Search APIs. Proxycurl's Search API simplifies searches with regex search parameters - and usually you can input plaintext strings.

}
