Describe the bug

Hello all. This is a feature request after I asked on openwrt forum already. I was told to ask here again and tag @ratkaj in/at/on this issue.

Feature request on forum

I am trying to write a script to parse a JSON file from mediathekviewweb API to script some movie downloading. However, this is working on my PC but not on my device. After some debugging I stumbled upon an unexpected error:

jq: error (at <stdin>:0): jq was compiled without ONIGURUMA regex libary. match/test/sub and related functions are not available.

As I stated on forum posts, one can work around this, so there is no high pressure to solve this. I would like to ask for a second package version with onigurma compiled in (e.g. jq-full), so jq can perform regular expressions. I am not experienced enough to do this, I never compiled anything, I am used to scripting.

May I ask if someone is so kind to do this for me at some time?
Thank you all!

Steps to reproduce

root@device:~$ opkg update
root@device:~$ opkg install jq
root@device:~$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d '{ "queries" : [ {"fields" : ["topic"], "query" : "Sendung Maus"} ] , "size" : 9999 }' "https://mediathekviewweb.de/api/query" > resp.txt
root@device:~$ cat resp.txt | jq '.result.results | .[0].title | scan("foo")'

Actual behaviour

No regex engine is compiled in and therefore such functions like scan / match / sub cannot be used. A call will yield this error:
jq: error (at <stdin>:0): jq was compiled without ONIGURUMA regex libary. match/test/sub and related functions are not available.

Expected behaviour

No error if one is using functions like scan / match / sub .
