Regular expressions are way, WAY overkill for a simple find. Just use
the string methods. Instead of this:
import string
string.find("Norwegian Blue", "Blue")
just do this:
"Norwegian Blue".find("Blue")
For case insensitive find:
"Norwegian Blue".lower().find("Blue".lower())
(or better still, turn it into a function).
