Summary

string-match is not identical to string-search even with regexp

Metadata

Description

(sorry, mario. it was me.)

The manual says that string-match is identical to string-search if regexp is given, but as far as I tried, it's not.

Daishi, you're right. It was like that before we switched to irregex as the regex implementation. I have changed the documentation accordingly (note that regex has been taken from the core and turned into an egg).
