BTW, Since the web interface tried to interpret my input ("Invalid
regular expression search string"), this database is probably
vulnerable to a SQL injection.
GNU just got pwn'd
Has anyone tried thew 1 =1 trick lately? Are passwords residing in
another table?

The same as "test", except that "[" will expect and consume the closing bracket.
Used in scripting with shells that don't have [ built-in.
Details with "man test" ("man [" is missing on my Cygwin system), or in bash
