      match( string[, pos[, endpos]])

If zero or more characters at the beginning of string match this regular 
expression, return a corresponding MatchObject instance. Return None if the 
string does not match the pattern; note that this is different from a 
zero-length match.

      search( string[, pos[, endpos]])

Scan through string looking for a location where this regular expression 
produces a match, and return a corresponding MatchObject instance. Return 
None if no position in the string matches the pattern; note that this is 
different from finding a zero-length match at some point in the string.
