Thanks.<br>
It would be good to put this in the manual dont you think?<br>

It is in the manual.<br>

Also, the manual says in the 'match' section <br>
<br>
"Note If you want to locate a match anywhere in <em>string</em>,
use <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">search()</span></tt>
instead."<br>
<br>
to guard against users using match when they should be using
search.<br>
<br>
Likewise it would be helpful if the manual also said (in the
match,search sections)<br>
"If more than one match/search is required use findall"<br>
