I think it might depend on the database. I know in MySQL you can do something like:

Model.find(:conditions => "field REGEXP '.*'")

if you want a true regex, or you can use the LIKE syntax for similar string matching.

While it doesn't have regex, there's also a gem called MetaWhere that provides more advanced finder functionality.
