.. method:: find(match)
- Finds the first toplevel element matching *match*. *match* may be a tag
- name or path. Same as getroot().find(match). Returns the first matching
- element, or ``None`` if no element was found.
+ Same as :meth:`Element.find`, starting at the root of the tree.
.. method:: findall(match)
- Finds all matching subelements, by tag name or path. Same as
- getroot().findall(match). *match* may be a tag name or path. Returns a
- list containing all matching elements, in document order.
+ Same as :meth:`Element.findall`, starting at the root of the tree.
.. method:: findtext(match, default=None)
- Finds the element text for the first toplevel element with given tag.
- Same as getroot().findtext(match). *match* may be a tag name or path.
- *default* is the value to return if the element was not found. Returns
- the text content of the first matching element, or the default value no
- element was found. Note that if the element is found, but has no text
- content, this method returns an empty string.
+ Same as :meth:`Element.findtext`, starting at the root of the tree.
