What is the difference between re.match and re.search?

In Python, `re.match()` checks for a match only at the beginning of the string, while `re.search()` checks for a match anywhere in the string.

How do I make a regex case-insensitive in Python?

Pass `re.IGNORECASE` (or `re.I`) as a flag to the compile/search method, or use the inline modifier `(?i)` at the start of your pattern.

Use `re.findall(pattern, string)`. It returns a list of all non-overlapping matches in the string.

Use parentheses `(...)` in your pattern. Retrieve them using `.group(1)`, `.group(2)` on the match object, or `.groups()` to get a tuple of all.

Raw strings prevent Python from interpreting backslashes as escape characters. This makes writing regexes cleaner, e.g., `r'\d'` instead of `'\\d'`.
