From the documentation:

7.2.4. Regular Expression Objects, search(string[, pos[, endpos]])

the index where the search is to start....

But I'd like to do just that. In Emacs regexps, I think the closest
equivalent would be \=. Then I could do something like that, and also
find directly adjacent matches

reo = re.compile( r'(\=|...)...' );
while True
   mo = reo.search(text,pos)
   if not mo: break
   ...

If you want to anchor the regex at the start position 'pos' then use
the 'match' method instead.
