Description

### Description

The documentation for the various HTTP method handlers (like [GET](https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#app.get.method)) link to [Path Examples](https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#path-examples) for more information about paths. The Path Examples are located underneath the `use` method and describe prefix matching. The HTTP method handlers however use full path matching, which is not mentioned.

### Expectations

Mention different behaviour either with the link, or in the examples
