Javascript/Python - Find in string iteration help needed

[slooksterpsv]

You know that's too funny that you mention that, but when I developed the code, I tested it, and certain examples would hit every one of those conditional loops for specific titles. So I just remember coding it and thinking through it at the time, yet, I don't really understand how I came to the conclusion that it works how it works. It's odd, but sometimes when I get into my programming fits, I just figure things out. If I could post what I do for work, I would give you really really really good examples, but due to NDA's I can't say.

you don't have to put your real stuff here. I am just curious what the copy_title is (not seeing its purpose in the original description of the problem) and for all i care the few example strings showcasing corner cases could be of the "this is OmgWtfBbq" variety.

if you got titles "ABC" "ABC DEF" and "GHIJKLMNOP", what should be picked when tried against "something ABC DEF something GHIJKLMNOP"? Always the longest match? What if there is a draw?
