+js regex format, some basics (much more extensive issue available online on javascript regex syntax):
+
+- a single `.` is the wildcard for exactly one character
+- multiple patterns can be combined with or: `|`
+
+### Some examples of useful constructs:
+
+#### Filter by type code:
 
-- Filter by type code:
 ```
+B737 family: B73. (B73 and any character in the fourth position)
+A320 family: A32.
+B737-900 and B737 Max 9: B739|B39M
+737 family including max: B73.|B3.M
+B737 / A320 families: B73.|B3.M|A32.|A2.N
 Only A320 and B737 models: A32|B73
-Exclude: ^(?!A320)
-Exclude multiple: ^(?!(A32|B73))
+Exclude a certain type: ^(?!A320)
+Exclude multiple patterns: ^(?!(A32.|B73.))
 ```
