/**
 * Constructs a regular expression pattern for matching search filter strings.
 * The pattern captures "column", "operator", and "value" groups for filter expressions.
 * Supported operators include common comparison and wildcard operators.
 *
 * Examples of valid expressions this regex can match:
 * - "username:john_doe"
 * - "age>30"
 * - "status!=active"
 * - "title~\"Product Manager\""
 * - "completed!~*yes"
 *
 * The "column" group matches one or more word characters.
 * The "operator" group matches one among the specified comparison or wildcard operators:
 * :, >, <, >=, <=, =<, =>, =, !=, ~, ~*, !~, !~*.
 * The "value" group matches either a double-quoted string or a single unquoted word
 * that doesn't include whitespace or any of the operator characters.
 *
 * @returns {RegExp} - The regular expression pattern to identify search filter elements.
