+   Scan through *string* looking for the first location where this regular
+   expression produces a match, and return a corresponding :ref:`match object
    <match-objects>`.  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.
