Regular expressions aren't necessary here. Selenium-IDE's verifyText command can do this using wildcards, which are denoted by an asterisk (*). Example script:

open | http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/02_selenium_ide.jsp#verifying-page-elements
assertText | xpath=id('verifying-page-elements')/h2 | *Page*
assertText | xpath=id('verifying-page-elements')/h2 | *some text*

The first assertText passes, while the second does not.

If you do want to use a regex, the syntax becomes:

assertText | xpath=id('verifying-page-elements')/h2 | regexp:.*Page.*
