Question about boundaries (regex).

When we search a boundary, what find it?

I think the boundary find only the first letter in a word. Correct?

Let's assume you're have sentence: "foo is a part of foobar". If you try to match word "foo" by itself in results you'll get foo and foobar (since foo is there). If you set a word boundary only the first foo will be matched, and second not.
