Given search as a potential replacement, about the only question is whether count should default to sys.maxint or 1.

Do you think that there will be many use cases for count values other than 1 or sys.maxint? If not, it might be more sensible to have two functions, search() and searchall().

And while we're on this, what about list.index? Should it also be replaced with list.search or whatever as well?
