Currently the RegexQueryBuilder isn't in ES. You can open an issue to
have it included if you like. Not sure why Shay hasn't included it - he
may have a reason

It's better to provide a LuceneQueryWrapperBuilder to wrap a lucene
query, in this way we can employ all the query functions provided by
Lucene/

Regex is not exposed because of its performance problems in Lucene 3.1. A wrapper around any Lucene query is not possible since you need to know how to "parse" the query representation, so it requires writing a plugin that adds a new type of query.
