Perhaps I was not clear the first time around:
Here is what I want to do:
Search for the string ERROR
If not found -> return OK
Else	-> return NOK

I haven't used the regex functionality but for such a simple case the  
negate plugin will work fine --

/path/to/plugins/negate /path/to/check_http -H 10.10.10.10 -p 80 -u / 
something/something/log -a username:password -s ERROR
