Research direction

Start with the regular-expression query example in the README and trace how { name: /^A/ } is encoded, using the reported Cannot encode unknown type error as the symptom. Done means the README example supports regex queries without requiring undocumented bytewise key encoding, or the usage documentation clearly states that requirement.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I get following error when trying to use a query with regular expression (like { name: /^A/ }).

Error: Cannot encode unknown type: /^test/

I do not use bytewise encoding for the keys, if this is neccessary it would be nice if you add it to the usage part in the readme.

So, long story short, i cannot perform regex queries when exactly using the example from the readme.
