Follow-on to #25173, any regex errors are displayed by SearchEngine but they should be shown by the dialog where the user is typing the error. Either as a modal tkMessageBox attached to the dialog, or as an inline error in the dialog itself.

I like the way that Open Module puts error messages in red under the entry box and allows users to correct without first clicking a modal message away.  I would like to do the same here.
