Writing a Search Console regex by hand for 80 queries means one missed escape and a filter that silently matches nothing. Paste the list and get a regex that works first time.
The example below is already loaded, so you can see exactly what you get. Replace it with your own list and the result updates as you type.

Google Search Console lets you filter the Performance report by a regular expression, but typing one by hand for more than a handful of queries is slow and error-prone. This operation takes your list, escapes every character that means something in regex (brackets, dots, plus signs, question marks) and joins the lines with | so the filter matches any of them.
Choose whether each line should match anywhere in the query, match the whole query exactly, or match the start of the query. Case-insensitive matching adds (?i) at the front. Search Console rejects filters longer than 4,096 characters, so a long list is split into several regexes, each safely under the limit, which you can paste one at a time.
Yes. Build Search Console Regex runs entirely in your browser, on this page and in the full Notepad, with no sign-up, no limits, and nothing sent to a server.
Search Console only accepts 4,096 characters per filter. When your list is longer, the output is split into several regexes that each fit, so run the report once per regex.
Yes. The output is standard RE2 syntax, which Looker Studio and GA4 also use, so the same regex works in their filters.
