[New-bugs-announce] [issue26656] Documentation for re.compile is a bit outdated

[Sworddragon]

New submission from Sworddragon:

The documentation for re.compile says "Compile a regular expression pattern into a regular expression object, which can be used for matching using its match() and search() methods, described below." which implies that match() and search() are the only methods for it while there are a few more. Maybe this sentence should be worded more generic or at least complete the list.
