s.search might be useless, but
re = /[delimiters]/g;
while ( ( m = re(s) ) != null ) {
}
works. and the fromIndex can be controlled by adjusting re.lastIndex (which is
a badly named parameter - its behaviour is to control where the next match
should start -- I think) This is to say nothing about the usefulness of toIndex
arguments.
