Those are two different things though..
split (". ", "Sentence 1. Sentence 2")

Will return {"Sentence 1. Sentence 2"}

Because it still compares ". " with every element of "Sentence 1.Sentence 2"
To split them in such case, would be: "Sentence 1" & {". "} & "Sentence 2"

Also, I made a (very common) mistake to assume compare returns true when
they are equal.. so here is the split () and split_match (). Tested and with
a short example. They're attached.

You should be able to get documentation from the comment by using NiceForm
/D
However, I didn't get it to work..
