-Python offers two different primitive operations based on regular expressions:
-:func:`re.match` checks for a match only at the beginning of the string, while
-:func:`re.search` checks for a match anywhere in the string (this is what Perl

 Regular expressions beginning with ``'^'`` can be used with :func:`search` to
 restrict the match at the beginning of the string::
