Edit: So let me get this straight, nowadays instead of just typing "female_only" I have to go with "~1girl ~multiple_girls -1boy -multiple_boys"? Great change guys.

1girl solo should cover it. Due to the overwhelming amount of artwork featuring females, the female_only is a highly redundant tag.
What do you mean by 'nowadays'? If you look at the post history for female only and female focus you'll see they were barely ever used on Danbooru, and were typically immediately nuked afterward, as has been the case for over 15 years.
Are you confusing Danbooru for another website?

That search only covers posts with a single female character. The ~1girl ~multiple_girls -1boy -multiple_boys is the recommended search according to the wiki, and karharoth wouldn't even be able to use that if they were only Member level.

Could be Gelbooru. They still use female_focus.

Wouldn't -*boy* accomplish basically the same as -1boy -multiple_boys? Same for *girl* if you really want to filter out scenery posts.
Sure, if you also hate cowboy shots and tomboys.

any tag with "boy" in the name would get caught in the crossfire too, even some female character-centric tags like playboy bunny. same for *girl* but in reverse.

The appropriate regex needed are:
[123456]\+?boys?
[123456]\+?girls?
[123456]\+?others?
Pretty sure regex doesn't work for tag searches like that.

I believe there's a way to do regex searches with the API.
I'm a bit clueless when it comes to /posts, but search forms on other pages like /tags do support regex searches yeah, you just have to add them as URL parameters because they aren't in the form itself. For example, you could look up tags with that regex by going to /tags?search[name_regex]=your_regex. There are some userscripts that let you add more fields to search forms.
The only thing about the regex you supplied is that it'll tell you that non-greedy quantifiers aren't supported if you try entering it with a name_regex field added to the form and putting it in the URL treats the + as a space instead.
