     33  * BoyerMooreSearch
     34  *
     35  * This object holds the information needed to do a Collation sensitive Boyer-Moore search. It encapulates
     36  * the pattern, the "bad character" and "good suffix" tables, the Collator-based data needed to compute them,
     37  * and a reference to the text being searched.
     38  *
     39  * To do a search, you fist need to get a <code>CollData</code> object by calling <code>CollData::open</code>.
     40  * Then you construct a <code>BoyerMooreSearch</code> object from the <code>CollData</code> object, the pattern
     41  * string and the target string. Then you call the <code>search</code> method. Here's a code sample:
     42  *
     43  * <pre>
     44  * void boyerMooreExample(UCollator *collator, UnicodeString *pattern, UnicodeString *target)
     45  * {
     46  *     UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
     47  *     CollData *collData = CollData::open(collator, status);
     48  *
     49  *     if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
     50  *         // could not create a CollData object
     51  *         return;
     52  *     }
     53  *
     54  *     BoyerMooreSearch *search = new BoyerMooreSearch(collData, *patternString, target, status);
     55  *
     56  *     if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
     57  *         // could not create a BoyerMooreSearch object
     58  *         CollData::close(collData);
     59  *         return;
     60  *     }
     61  *
     62  *     int32_t offset = 0, start = -1, end = -1;
     63  *
     64  *     // Find all matches
     65  *     while (search->search(offset, start, end)) {
     66  *         // process the match between start and end
     67  *         ...
     68  *         // advance past the match
     69  *         offset = end;
     70  *     }
     71  *
     72  *     // at this point, if offset == 0, there were no matches
     73  *     if (offset == 0) {
     74  *         // handle the case of no matches
     75  *     }
     76  *
     77  *     delete search;
     78  *     CollData::close(collData);
     79  *
     80  *     // CollData objects are cached, so the call to
     81  *     // CollData::close doesn't delete the object.
     82  *     // Call this if you don't need the object any more.
     83  *     CollData::flushCollDataCache();
     84  * }
     85  * </pre>
     86  *
     87  * NOTE: This is a technology preview. The final version of this API may not bear any resenblence to this API.
     88  *
     89  * Knows linitations:
     90  *   1) Backwards searching has not been implemented.
     91  *
     92  *   2) For Han and Hangul characters, this code ignores any Collation tailorings. In general,
     93  *      this isn't a problem, but in Korean locals, at strength 1, Hangul characters are tailored
     94  *      to be equal to Han characters with the same pronounciation. Because this code ignroes
     95  *      tailorings, searching for a Hangul character will not find a Han character and visa-versa.
     96  *
     97  *   3) In some cases, searching for a pattern that needs to be normalized and ends
     98  *      in a discontiguous contraction may fail. The only known cases of this are with
     99  *      the Tibetan script. For example searching for the pattern
    100  *      "\u0F7F\u0F80\u0F81\u0F82\u0F83\u0F84\u0F85" will fail. (This case is artificial. We've
    101  *      been unable to find a pratical, real-world example of this failure.)
