Sounds like you want a math regex to match parts of equations. That would be seriously sweet.

Given how glacially mathml and friends are moving though I can't imagine we'll see something like that any time soon. Maybe microformats could be applied to maths expressions and then search using semantic web tools?

It'll take a visionary.

TBH regexes applied to TeX seem more likely to bear fruit. It's not like people who write equations professionally would like to use MathML instead of TeX.
