Python in a Nutshell

search

Synopsis

                        t.search(pattern,i,**search_options)

Finds the first occurrence of string pattern in t’s contents not earlier than index i and returns a string that is the index of the occurrence, or an empty string '' if not found. Option nocase=True makes the search case-insensitive; by default, or with an explicit option nocase=False, the search is case-sensitive. Option stop= j makes the search stop at index j; by default, the search wraps around to the start of t’s contents. When you need to avoid wrapping, you can use stop=END.
