Regex phrase matches a specific sequence of regex queries. Think of it like a conjunction of regex queries, with positions and ordering of tokens enforced. For example, the regex phrase query for ru.* shoes will match running shoes, but will not match shoes running. 
SELECT description, rating, category
FROM mock_items
WHERE description @@@ pdb.regex_phrase(ARRAY['ru.*', 'shoes']);

    rating: mockItems.rating,
    category: mockItems.category,
  })
  .from(mockItems)
  .where(search.regexPhrase(mockItems.description, ["ru.*", "shoes"]));

​
phrases
required
An ARRAY of expressions that form the search phrase. These expressions must appear in the specified order within the document for a match to occur, although some flexibility is allowed based on the slop parameter. Please see regex for allowed regex constructs.
​
slop
default:0
A slop of 0 requires the terms to appear exactly as they are in the phrase and adjacent to each other. Higher slop values allow for transpositions and distance between terms.
​
max_expansions
default:16384
Limits total number of terms that the regex phrase query can expand to. If this number is exceeded, an error will be returned.
