**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.4.1  
My PHP version is: 7.4.30

**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
I make a segment with a filter. I use “URL visited” as field with “regexp” as filter.  
I want to know where the different contacts come from. But, where I do my different segments, with different text based on my different url, I have always the same number of contacts.  
I check my regex, and I think it’s ok. I just put a text.  
Moreover, I also checked, and I have contacts who don’t visit all url.

Do you any idea?

can you paste a pic of your segment filters here.

Also have you tried using contains \*not sure if that is an option).

Did you see anything in any of the error logs ?

We tested this too and I can confirm.  
There are no log entries.  
Regex expression will be ignored.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer !

You can find two examples just here:

Contains is working. Just I need regexp because, for some cases, I have several words.

Unfortunately there is no error logs.

I guess following Joeys reply that Regex is not working currently, maybe the answer is to use multiple contains with OR condition. Not ideal, but should work
