Following META-Information not working in context of FormattedSearch and pattern to extract for example the last state.

% META:WORKFLOW{name="MYSTATE" LASTTIME_MYSTATE="24 Aug 2009 - 09:32" LASTVERSION_MYSTATE="2"}%

%SEARCH{... format="$pattern(.*META:WORKFLOW{name=\"(.*?)\".*)"}%

... A regular expression pattern to extract some text from a topic (does not search meta data; use $formfield instead). ... (FormattedSearch)

I have had a similar problem with the WorkflowPlugin some time ago....I opened a similar task to this one here: Item1127. I solved my problem by hacking in the missing capability to the WorkflowPlugin itself (Item8172). So now you can do things like:

%SEARCH{"(form[name~'CaseForm*']) AND (CompanyRepresentative='Main.Collin*') AND (META:WORKFLOW.name!='CLOSED')" 
type="query" format=" | [[$topic]]   | percntWORKFLOWSTATE{$quot$topic$quot}$percnt |"}%

Maybe not the ideal solution, but it does the trick.

AFAICT this is addressed by %QUERY in 1.1 and Dean's changes to the plugin to do cross-topic state queries. If I'm wrong, re-open the report.
