Hi,

You can find an answer to your quesion on the document below: http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/2181/fortigate-security_profiles-5.2.pdf  page 142-143

In general, with Simple expression you must introduce explicitly the url you want to authorize, and with the regular you can add same expression like '.' to have dynamic processing, for example site.com will apply action also to site1.com, site2.com...

I hope this can help you.
