It worked for me:

list1 = []
for para in document.paragraphs:
    results = re.findall(r'audi', para.text, re.IGNORECASE)
    list1.extend(results)

Use extend list instead append:

list1 = []
for para in document.paragraphs:
    results = re.findall(r'audi', para.text, re.IGNORECASE)
    list1.extend(results)

Or you can flatten values in list comprehension:

list1 = [x for para in document.paragraphs 
           for x in re.findall(r'audi', para.text, re.IGNORECASE)]

EDIT:

list1 = []
for para in document.paragraphs:
    for x in list2:
        results = re.findall(x, para.text, re.IGNORECASE)
        list1.extend(results)

You can flatten the list after finding all things you want:

list1 = [item for sublist in list1 for item in sublist]
