I seen a code which uses re.search() with anchor ^ instead of re.match(), but I never seen a code which uses re.match() instead of re.search(). It just won't work unless you add explicit ".*" or ".*?" at the start of the pattern, and it is a clear indication that re.match() matches the start of the string.
