Breaking: Change regex/iregex to use re.search instead of re.match
Description
Change fetchItem's regex and iregex filters to use re.search rather re.match.
This means that the pattern is now matched from anywhere the string, not start of the string:
- https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#search-vs-match
The user can specify ^ in their regex if they want to continue to match the start of the string.
