Is it a rule that unapply will always return an Option?

I tried to create an unapply method to use in pattern matching, and I tried to make it return something different than Option, however, Eclipse shows that as an error. Is it a rule that unapply must return an Option[T] ?

EDIT: here's the code I'm trying to use. I switched the code from the previous section so that unapply returns a Boolean

import java.util.regex._

object NumberMatcher {
  def apply(x:String):Boolean = {
    val pat = Pattern.compile("\\d+")
    val matcher = pat.matcher(x)
    return matcher.find
  }

  def unapply(x:String):Boolean = {
    val pat = Pattern.compile("\\d+")
    val matcher = pat.matcher(x)
    return matcher.find
  }
}

object x {
  def main(args : Array[String]) : Unit = {
    val strings = List("geo12","neo493","leo")
    for(val str <- strings) {
      str match {
        case NumberMatcher(group) => println(group)
        case _ => println ("no")
      }
    }
  }
}

Eclipse says wrong number of arguments for object NumberMatcher. Why is that?
