Web Filtering

I have been searching through the posts and this is what I THINK I have found out.

When trying to either block or allow a website in the filter actions, if I put a DOMAIN in the domain section and a regEX statement into the REgular Expressions sections I have just created a "AND" statement?

If I want to block all access to " The Useless Web " all I need to do is enter that into the DOMAIN section as is and NOT enter anything into the Regular Expression section?

Regular Expressions escape me.  I have been trying to locate a website that will let me enter a website into a field and have it convert it into a string of gibberish(regEX) that I can enter into the filter.  So far, the sites I have found will let me do everything else but that.

Does anyone have a site, or an app, that I can use to convert something like " www.zumiez.com/womens/tops/t-shirts.html" into a regEX expression that accounts for possible subdomains and HTTP/HTTPS?  Or would it be best to just put "www.zumiez.com" into the DOMAIN section AND leave the Regular Expression section free from any mention of this site?

And how much will this change when 9.2 is released?
