Queries the procedural database for its contents using regular expression matching.

This procedure queries the contents of the procedural database. It is supplied with seven arguments matching procedures on { name, blurb, help, author, copyright, date, procedure type}. This is accomplished using regular expression matching. For instance, to find all procedures with \"jpeg\" listed in the blurb, all seven arguments can be supplied as \".*\", except for the second, which can be supplied as \".*jpeg.*\". There are two return arguments for this procedure. The first is the number of procedures matching the query. The second is a concatenated list of procedure names corresponding to those matching the query. If no matching entries are found, then the returned string is NULL and the number of entries is 0.

name : The regex for procedure name.
blurb : The regex for procedure blurb.
help : The regex for procedure help.
author : The regex for procedure author.
copyright : The regex for procedure copyright.
date : The regex for procedure date.
proc_type : The regex for procedure type: { 'Internal GIMP procedure', 'GIMP Plug-in', 'GIMP Extension' }.
num_matches : The number of matching procedures.
procedure_names : The list of procedure names.
Returns : TRUE on success.
