If you want your regular expression which matches at the begging of the string you use ^ (carrot). A regex is for describing what it takes to make a match, if your regex doesn't use this than it can match anywhere in the string. So to me having a match and find is redundant. I mean what does find do when you have ^ and $ surrounding the expression?
