What does the _find function do?

function _find (string, re) {
  var matches = string.match(re);
  return re ? re.length : 0;
}

Right now the matches variable isn't used at all. I haven't fully understood what the code does, but shouldn't this be:

function _find (string, re) {
  var matches = string.match(re);
  return matches ? matches.length : 0;
}
