regular expression in ios to remove href links

i need some help in building a regular expression to remove href links with search terms from a long string that i then parse into a web view

an example of the href string : <a href="/search/?search=Huntington">Huntington</a>

i would like to remove everthing but the plain text of the link (just the link itself) but having troubles

 NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"<a href=\"/search/?search=([A-Z][a-z])\"" options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&error];

any help would be greatly welcomed

Thanks
