Add space and characters to form value

[cleanair4me46]

I have a form value that I need to add a regular expression to the end so I can pick up any characters after the form value. Example if someone enters Jones then I want to make sure the value could also search Jones Jr or Jones Sr or Jones abc etc. Basically add a space and any characters a-z to the form value.

So what exactly is your question? How to do it? Have you tried anything already that hasn't worked? Do you know the regular expression to use but don't know how to add it... or is it the regexp you're stuck on?

The regex /^Jones/ will match the following strings:

'Jones'
'Jonesy'
'Jones Jr'
'Jones Sr'
