It's quite simple really: .matches(), which is used, anchors the regex
at the beginning and end. .matches("re") is equivalent to
.lookingAt("^re$"), even if your re is already anchored.
Unfortunately, this method's misleading name and the prevalence of
Java has led a lot of people to believe that regex matching was done
on the whole input, which is of course false.
