is_match() and find().is_some() give different results about rust-onig HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi, and thanks for choosing onig. I'm enjoying Advent of Code too.

find searches for the pattern within the string and returns information about where it found it. is_match On the other hand checks if the whole string matches the pattern. So yes, they do different things.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you needs more clarification.

I've just had a look at the docs and I can see how it could be confusing. I'll update it to be a bit clearer about is_match's behaviour.

from rust-onig.

Hopefully the Regex::is_match and Rege::find documentation is a bit clearer now.

I've also added a larger section which discusses the difference between the match and search APIs

from rust-onig.

Thanks, now it's clear :-)
