Extract part of a regex match

Use ( ) in regexp and group(1) in python to retrieve the captured string (re.search will return None if it doesn’t find the result, so don’t use group() directly):

title_search = re.search('<title>(.*)</title>', html, re.IGNORECASE)

if title_search:
    title = title_search.group(1)
