     40  *
     41  * <tt>SearchIterator</tt> is an abstract base class that provides
     42  * methods to search for a pattern within a text string. Instances of
     43  * <tt>SearchIterator</tt> maintain a current position and scans over the
     44  * target text, returning the indices the pattern is matched and the length
     45  * of each match.
     46  * <p>
     47  * <tt>SearchIterator</tt> defines a protocol for text searching.
     48  * Subclasses provide concrete implementations of various search algorithms.
     49  * For example, <tt>StringSearch</tt> implements language-sensitive pattern
     50  * matching based on the comparison rules defined in a
     51  * <tt>RuleBasedCollator</tt> object.
     52  * <p>
     53  * Other options for searching includes using a BreakIterator to restrict
     54  * the points at which matches are detected.
     55  * <p>
     56  * <tt>SearchIterator</tt> provides an API that is similar to that of
     57  * other text iteration classes such as <tt>BreakIterator</tt>. Using
     58  * this class, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of
     59  * a given pattern. The following example uses a <tt>StringSearch</tt>
     60  * object to find all instances of "fox" in the target string. Any other
     61  * subclass of <tt>SearchIterator</tt> can be used in an identical
     62  * manner.
     63  * <pre><code>
     64  * UnicodeString target("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox");
     65  * UnicodeString pattern("fox");
     66  *
     67  * SearchIterator *iter  = new StringSearch(pattern, target);
     68  * UErrorCode      error = U_ZERO_ERROR;
     69  * for (int pos = iter->first(error); pos != USEARCH_DONE;
     70  *                               pos = iter->next(error)) {
     71  *     printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
     72  *                                             iter.getMatchLength());
     73  * }
