searching within string python iterables vs list iterables

Could someone explain why a search as follows

2,2,2,2 in range(20)

yields a result as (2, 2, 2, True)

and 5,4,3,19 in range(20)

yields a result as (5, 4, 3, True)

A search like "tab" in "batman" gives False whereas "bat" in "batman" is true. Likewise why is the order not preserved in the above searches. Also I'd like an explanation of the results it gives.
