     23  * \brief C API: StringSearch
     24  *
     25  * C Apis for an engine that provides language-sensitive text searching based
     26  * on the comparison rules defined in a <tt>UCollator</tt> data struct,
     27  * see <tt>ucol.h</tt>. This ensures that language eccentricity can be
     28  * handled, e.g. for the German collator, characters &szlig; and SS will be matched
     29  * if case is chosen to be ignored.
     30  * See the <a href="http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm">
     31  * "ICU Collation Design Document"</a> for more information.
     32  * <p>
     33  * The implementation may use a linear search or a modified form of the Boyer-Moore
     34  * search; for more information on the latter see
     35  * <a href="http://icu-project.org/docs/papers/efficient_text_searching_in_java.html">
     36  * "Efficient Text Searching in Java"</a>, published in <i>Java Report</i>
     37  * in February, 1999.
     38  * <p>
     39  * There are 2 match options for selection:<br>
     40  * Let S' be the sub-string of a text string S between the offsets start and
     41  * end <start, end>.
     42  * <br>
     43  * A pattern string P matches a text string S at the offsets <start, end>
     44  * if
     45  * <pre>
     46  * option 1. Some canonical equivalent of P matches some canonical equivalent
     47  *           of S'
     48  * option 2. P matches S' and if P starts or ends with a combining mark,
     49  *           there exists no non-ignorable combining mark before or after S'
     50  *           in S respectively.
     51  * </pre>
     52  * Option 2. will be the default.
     53  * <p>
     54  * This search has APIs similar to that of other text iteration mechanisms
     55  * such as the break iterators in <tt>ubrk.h</tt>. Using these
     56  * APIs, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of
     57  * a given pattern. This search iterator allows changing of direction by
     58  * calling a <tt>reset</tt> followed by a <tt>next</tt> or <tt>previous</tt>.
     59  * Though a direction change can occur without calling <tt>reset</tt> first,
     60  * this operation comes with some speed penalty.
     61  * Generally, match results in the forward direction will match the result
     62  * matches in the backwards direction in the reverse order
     63  * <p>
     64  * <tt>usearch.h</tt> provides APIs to specify the starting position
     65  * within the text string to be searched, e.g. <tt>usearch_setOffset</tt>,
     66  * <tt>usearch_preceding</tt> and <tt>usearch_following</tt>. Since the
     67  * starting position will be set as it is specified, please take note that
     68  * there are some dangerous positions which the search may render incorrect
     69  * results:
     70  * <ul>
     71  * <li> The midst of a substring that requires normalization.
     72  * <li> If the following match is to be found, the position should not be the
     73  *      second character which requires to be swapped with the preceding
     74  *      character. Vice versa, if the preceding match is to be found,
     75  *      position to search from should not be the first character which
     76  *      requires to be swapped with the next character. E.g certain Thai and
     77  *      Lao characters require swapping.
     78  * <li> If a following pattern match is to be found, any position within a
     79  *      contracting sequence except the first will fail. Vice versa if a
     80  *      preceding pattern match is to be found, a invalid starting point
     81  *      would be any character within a contracting sequence except the last.
     82  * </ul>
     83  * <p>
     84  * A breakiterator can be used if only matches at logical breaks are desired.
     85  * Using a breakiterator will only give you results that exactly matches the
     86  * boundaries given by the breakiterator. For instance the pattern "e" will
     87  * not be found in the string "\u00e9" if a character break iterator is used.
     88  * <p>
     89  * Options are provided to handle overlapping matches.
     90  * E.g. In English, overlapping matches produces the result 0 and 2
     91  * for the pattern "abab" in the text "ababab", where else mutually
     92  * exclusive matches only produce the result of 0.
     93  * <p>
     94  * Options are also provided to implement "asymmetric search" as described in
     95  * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Asymmetric_Search">
     96  * UTS #10 Unicode Collation Algorithm</a>, specifically the USearchAttribute
     97  * USEARCH_ELEMENT_COMPARISON and its values.
     98  * <p>
     99  * E.g. In English, overlapping matches produces the result 0 and 2
    100  * for the pattern "abab" in the text "ababab", where else mutually
    101  * exclusive matches only produce the result of 0.
    102  * <p>
    103  * Though collator attributes will be taken into consideration while
    104  * performing matches, there are no APIs here for setting and getting the
    105  * attributes. These attributes can be set by getting the collator
    106  * from <tt>usearch_getCollator</tt> and using the APIs in <tt>ucol.h</tt>.
    107  * Lastly to update String Search to the new collator attributes,
    108  * usearch_reset() has to be called.
    109  * <p>
    110  * Restriction: <br>
    111  * Currently there are no composite characters that consists of a
    112  * character with combining class > 0 before a character with combining
    113  * class == 0. However, if such a character exists in the future, the
    114  * search mechanism does not guarantee the results for option 1.
    115  *
    116  * <p>
    117  * Example of use:<br>
    118  * <pre><code>
    119  * char *tgtstr = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox";
    120  * char *patstr = "fox";
    121  * UChar target[64];
    122  * UChar pattern[16];
    123  * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
    124  * u_uastrcpy(target, tgtstr);
    125  * u_uastrcpy(pattern, patstr);
    126  *
    127  * UStringSearch *search = usearch_open(pattern, -1, target, -1, "en_US",
    128  *                                  NULL, &status);
    129  * if (U_SUCCESS(status)) {
    130  *     for (int pos = usearch_first(search, &status);
    131  *          pos != USEARCH_DONE;
    132  *          pos = usearch_next(search, &status))
    133  *     {
    134  *         printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
    135  *                                        usearch_getMatchLength(search));
    136  *     }
    137  * }
