Great that there's interest enhancing this! One thing to decide is should the section header be changed or not. Mentioning only search and match when there's also fullmatch would be odd, but the change would break possible internal and external links to this section. Internal links can be fixed as part of this change, though, and external ones can be preserved by adding an explicit link target with the old name. What approach has been used in this kind of situations earlier? |

I think it's fine to keep the section name, especially as fullmatch is a variant of |

The docs at https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#search-vs-match start with
