Details:

the find man page says:

   OPTIONS
       All  options  always  return  true.  Except for -daystart, -follow and
-regextype, the options affect all tests,
       including tests specified before the option.  This is because the
options are processed when the command line is
       parsed,  while  the  tests  don't  do  anything until files are
examined.  The -daystart, -follow and -regextype
       options are different in this respect, and have an effect only on tests
which appear later in the command  line.
       Therefore, for clarity, it is best to place them at the beginning of
the expression.  A warning is issued if you
       don't do this.

when i run the following command there's no warning message:

find .  -regex '\./smp\{1,\}.*' -regextype grep
