ActionScript 3.0: using the search method of the String class, part 1

if using the search method of the String class, this would trace; do stuff to you:

var teststr:String = "blablabla";
if(teststr.search(/bl/i) > -1) {
trace("do stuff");
}

and this wouldn’t:

var teststr:String = "blablabla";
if(teststr.search(/br/i) > -1) {
trace("do stuff");
}

doing the same kind of search in a String with HTML-text, this would trace out; do stuff to you:

var teststr:String = "blab<br>labla";
if(teststr.search(/\<br\>/i) > -1) {
trace("do stuff");
}

and this wouldn’t:

var teststr:String = "blablabla";
if(teststr.search(/\<br\>/i) > -1) {
trace("do stuff");
}
