Thanks Dan and it is clear now.
I implemented both in 
http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/2006/02swap/euler.yap
version_info('$Id: euler.yap 3220 2009-12-18 18:10:00Z josd $').
plus added them in 
http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/2003/03swap/euler-builtins.n3

Both cwm and eye now agree that

@prefix str: <http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/string#>.
("http://example.org/1995/manifesto" "http://([^/]+)/") str:scrape 
"example.org".
("http://example.org/1995/manifesto" "http://([^/]+)/([^/]+)") str:scrape 
"example.org".
("http://example.org/1995/manifesto" "http://([^/]+)/") str:search 
("example.org").
("http://example.org/1995/manifesto" "http://([^/]+)/([^/]+)") str:search 
("example.org" "1995").
("http://example.org/1995/manifesto" "http://([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)") 
str:search ("example.org" "1995" "manifesto").
("http://example.org/1995/manifesto/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i" "http://(
[^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)") 
str:search ("example.org" "1995" "manifesto" "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g").
