From Issue 1615.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Run ZAP;
2. Select the "Search" tab;
3. Add an invalid regex, for example "*", and press Enter;
4. Note that no dialogue is shown indicating that the regex is invalid, also in the log there's an exception:
[...]
33606 [ZAP-SearchThread] ERROR org.zaproxy.zap.ZAP$UncaughtExceptionLogger  - Exception in thread "ZAP-SearchThread"
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0

Remarks:
If the search is started by clicking the "Search" button the regex is validated.
