     22  * \brief C API: StringSearch
     23  *
     24  * C Apis for an engine that provides language-sensitive text searching based
     25  * on the comparison rules defined in a <tt>UCollator</tt> data struct,
     26  * see <tt>ucol.h</tt>. This ensures that language eccentricity can be
     27  * handled, e.g. for the German collator, characters &szlig; and SS will be matched
     28  * if case is chosen to be ignored.
     29  * See the <a href="http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm">
     30  * "ICU Collation Design Document"</a> for more information.
     31  * <p>
     32  * The algorithm implemented is a modified form of the Boyer Moore's search.
     33  * For more information  see
     34  * <a href="http://icu.sourceforge.net/docs/papers/efficient_text_searching_in_java.html">
     35  * "Efficient Text Searching in Java"</a>, published in <i>Java Report</i>
     36  * in February, 1999, for further information on the algorithm.
     37  * <p>
     38  * There are 2 match options for selection:<br>
     39  * Let S' be the sub-string of a text string S between the offsets start and
     40  * end <start, end>.
     41  * <br>
     42  * A pattern string P matches a text string S at the offsets <start, end>
     43  * if
     44  * <pre>
     45  * option 1. Some canonical equivalent of P matches some canonical equivalent
     46  *           of S'
     47  * option 2. P matches S' and if P starts or ends with a combining mark,
     48  *           there exists no non-ignorable combining mark before or after S'
     49  *           in S respectively.
     50  * </pre>
     51  * Option 2. will be the default.
     52  * <p>
     53  * This search has APIs similar to that of other text iteration mechanisms
     54  * such as the break iterators in <tt>ubrk.h</tt>. Using these
     55  * APIs, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of
     56  * a given pattern. This search iterator allows changing of direction by
     57  * calling a <tt>reset</tt> followed by a <tt>next</tt> or <tt>previous</tt>.
     58  * Though a direction change can occur without calling <tt>reset</tt> first,
     59  * this operation comes with some speed penalty.
     60  * Generally, match results in the forward direction will match the result
     61  * matches in the backwards direction in the reverse order
     62  * <p>
     63  * <tt>usearch.h</tt> provides APIs to specify the starting position
     64  * within the text string to be searched, e.g. <tt>usearch_setOffset</tt>,
     65  * <tt>usearch_preceding</tt> and <tt>usearch_following</tt>. Since the
     66  * starting position will be set as it is specified, please take note that
     67  * there are some dangerous positions which the search may render incorrect
     68  * results:
     69  * <ul>
     70  * <li> The midst of a substring that requires normalization.
     71  * <li> If the following match is to be found, the position should not be the
     72  *      second character which requires to be swapped with the preceding
     73  *      character. Vice versa, if the preceding match is to be found,
     74  *      position to search from should not be the first character which
     75  *      requires to be swapped with the next character. E.g certain Thai and
     76  *      Lao characters require swapping.
     77  * <li> If a following pattern match is to be found, any position within a
     78  *      contracting sequence except the first will fail. Vice versa if a
     79  *      preceding pattern match is to be found, a invalid starting point
     80  *      would be any character within a contracting sequence except the last.
     81  * </ul>
     82  * <p>
     83  * A breakiterator can be used if only matches at logical breaks are desired.
     84  * Using a breakiterator will only give you results that exactly matches the
     85  * boundaries given by the breakiterator. For instance the pattern "e" will
     86  * not be found in the string "\u00e9" if a character break iterator is used.
     87  * <p>
     88  * Options are provided to handle overlapping matches.
     89  * E.g. In English, overlapping matches produces the result 0 and 2
     90  * for the pattern "abab" in the text "ababab", where else mutually
     91  * exclusive matches only produce the result of 0.
     92  * <p>
     93  * Though collator attributes will be taken into consideration while
     94  * performing matches, there are no APIs here for setting and getting the
     95  * attributes. These attributes can be set by getting the collator
     96  * from <tt>usearch_getCollator</tt> and using the APIs in <tt>ucol.h</tt>.
     97  * Lastly to update String Search to the new collator attributes,
     98  * usearch_reset() has to be called.
     99  * <p>
    100  * Restriction: <br>
    101  * Currently there are no composite characters that consists of a
    102  * character with combining class > 0 before a character with combining
    103  * class == 0. However, if such a character exists in the future, the
    104  * search mechanism does not guarantee the results for option 1.
    105  *
    106  * <p>
    107  * Example of use:<br>
    108  * <pre><code>
    109  * char *tgtstr = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox";
    110  * char *patstr = "fox";
    111  * UChar target[64];
    112  * UChar pattern[16];
    113  * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
    114  * u_uastrcpy(target, tgtstr);
    115  * u_uastrcpy(pattern, patstr);
    116  *
    117  * UStringSearch *search = usearch_open(pattern, -1, target, -1, "en_US",
    118  *                                  &status);
    119  * if (U_SUCCESS(status)) {
    120  *     for (int pos = usearch_first(search, &status);
    121  *                                      pos != USEARCH_DONE;
    122  *                                      pos = usearch_next(search, &status)) {
    123  *         printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
    124  *                                        usearch_getMatchLength(search));
