New submission from Julian Gilbey:

In re.rst, the re.compile documentation says:

   Compile a regular expression pattern into a regular expression object, which
   can be used for matching using its :func:`match` and :func:`search` methods,
   described below.

This results in linking to the re.match and re.search module functions instead 
of the regex.match and regex.search object methods.  I'm not sure what the 
correct replacement syntax is, presumably something like :meth:`~regex.match` 
and :meth:`~regex.search`.
