Compiled regular expression objects support the following methods and
attributes:
\begin{methoddesc}[RegexObject]{search}{string\optional{, pos\optional{,
endpos}}}
Scan through \var{string} looking for a location where this regular
expression produces a match, and return a
corresponding \class{MatchObject} instance. Return \code{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.
The optional \var{pos} and \var{endpos} parameters have the same
meaning as for the \method{match()} method.
