Remarks
Returns the first index less than position at which the string text matches the search pattern. The iterator is adjusted so that its current index (as returned by #getIndex) is the match position if one was found. If a match is not found, #DONE will be returned and the iterator will be adjusted to the index #DONE
When the overlapping option (#isOverlapping) is off, the last index of the result match is always less than position. When the overlapping option is on, the result match may span across position.
