Python re.search simple question

Hi Folks ,

This  might seem to be very trivial question but iam breaking my head over
it for a while .

 My understanding is that re.search should search for the match anywhere in
the string .


why is re.search failing in the below case  ??

>>> pattern
'Token-based migrations cannot be mixed with level-based: [prev 0 , now 1]'
>>> text
' LogMessage {type NDMP_LOG_DBG} {msg_id 0} {msg The process id for NDMP
service is 0x9c216370} {associated_msg 0} {associated_msg_seq 0} Source
filer:DartOS  Error: Token-based migrations cannot be mixed with
level-based: [prev 0 , now 1]'

>>> if (re.search(pattern,text)):
...    print "Hi"
... else:
...     print "BYE"
...
BYE

Regards,
Ganesh
