[issue26895] regex matching on bytes considers zero byte as end

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters added the comment:

Do note that `.match()` is constrained to match starting at the first byte.  `.search()` is not (it can start matching at any position), and your example works fine if `.search()` is used instead.

This is all expected, and intended, and documented.
