[need-update] `anime_regex` is a wrong arg name for search command about mal HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes, you are expecting something that mal said, but sorry, this help of argparse cli is outdated.

This behavior actually is the right thing, this is not a bug at all. However, this is a outdated args and doc, because in past search function would be what the filter function does in currently master version. Filter use a anime_regex to fetch it's own anime list after retrevied ALL of it, search use the MAL API by a global search (which doesn't have support for regex and never will have probably).

The thing to do here is just to translate anime_regex to anime_title or anything not related to regex because mal search doesn't use regex anymore since this command was renamed to mal filter after this #52

@bradenbest thanks for reporting that! I really didn't saw before. That will help new comers.

BTW, we need update that old and misleading gif showing the old cli as mal search which for now is mal filter
