   - If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using C(<),

+  - Case insensitive searches are indicated with a prefix of C(?i).
   - The C(pexpect) library used by this module operates with a search window
     of 2000 bytes, and does not use a multiline regex match. To perform a
     start of line bound match, use a pattern like ``(?m)^pattern``
-  - By default, if a question is encountered multiple times, its string
-    response will be repeated. If you need different responses for successive

-    the response. The list functionality is new in 2.1.
   - The M(ansible.builtin.expect) module is designed for simple scenarios.
     For more complex needs, consider the use of expect code with the M(ansible.builtin.shell)
     or M(ansible.builtin.script) modules. (An example is part of the M(ansible.builtin.shell) module documentation).
