/**
* \file
* \brief C API: StringSearch
*
* C Apis for an engine that provides language-sensitive text searching based
* on the comparison rules defined in a <tt>UCollator</tt> data struct,
* see <tt>ucol.h</tt>. This ensures that language eccentricity can be
* handled, e.g. for the German collator, characters ß and SS will be matched
* if case is chosen to be ignored.
* See the <a href=http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/develop/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm>
* "ICU Collation Design Document"</a> for more information.
* <p>
* The algorithm implemented is a modified form of the Boyer Moore's search.
* For more information see
* <a href=http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/docs/papers/text-search.html>
* "Efficient Text Searching in Java"</a>, published in <i>Java Report</i>
* in February, 1999, for further information on the algorithm.
* <p>
* There are 2 match options for selection:<br>
* Let S' be the sub-string of a text string S between the offsets start and
* end <start, end>.
* <br>
* A pattern string P matches a text string S at the offsets <start, end>
* if
* <pre>
* option 1. Some canonical equivalent of P matches some canonical equivalent
* of S'
* option 2. P matches S' and if P starts or ends with a combining mark,
* there exists no non-ignorable combining mark before or after S
* in S respectively.
* </pre>
* Option 2. will be the default·
* <p>
* This search has APIs similar to that of other text iteration mechanisms
* such as the break iterators in <tt>ubrk.h</tt>. Using these
* APIs, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of
* a given pattern. This search iterator allows changing of direction by
* calling a <tt>reset</tt> followed by a <tt>next</tt> or <tt>previous</tt>.
* Though a direction change can occur without calling <tt>reset</tt> first,
* this operation comes with some speed penalty.
* Generally, match results in the forward direction will match the result
* matches in the backwards direction in the reverse order
* <p>
* <tt>usearch.h</tt> provides APIs to specify the starting position
* within the text string to be searched, e.g. <tt>usearch_setOffset</tt>,
* <tt>usearch_preceding</tt> and <tt>usearch_following</tt>. Since the
* starting position will be set as it is specified, please take note that
* there are some dangerous positions which the search may render incorrect
* results:
* <ul>
* <li> The midst of a substring that requires normalization.
* <li> If the following match is to be found, the position should not be the
* second character which requires to be swapped with the preceding
* character. Vice versa, if the preceding match is to be found,
* position to search from should not be the first character which
* requires to be swapped with the next character. E.g certain Thai and
* Lao characters require swapping.
* <li> If a following pattern match is to be found, any position within a
* contracting sequence except the first will fail. Vice versa if a
* preceding pattern match is to be found, a invalid starting point
* would be any character within a contracting sequence except the last.
* </ul>
* <p>
* A breakiterator can be used if only matches at logical breaks are desired.
* Using a breakiterator will only give you results that exactly matches the
* boundaries given by the breakiterator. For instance the pattern "e" will
* not be found in the string "\u00e9" if a character break iterator is used.
* <p>
* Options are provided to handle overlapping matches.
* E.g. In English, overlapping matches produces the result 0 and 2
* for the pattern "abab" in the text "ababab", where else mutually
* exclusive matches only produce the result of 0.
* <p>
* Though collator attributes will be taken into consideration while
* performing matches, there are no APIs here for setting and getting the
* attributes. These attributes can be set by getting the collator
* from <tt>usearch_getCollator</tt> and using the APIs in <tt>ucol.h</tt>.
* Lastly to update String Search to the new collator attributes,
* usearch_reset() has to be called.
* <p>
* Restriction: <br>
* Currently there are no composite characters that consists of a
* character with combining class > 0 before a character with combining
* class == 0. However, if such a character exists in the future, the
* search mechanism does not guarantee the results for option 1.
*
* <p>
* Example of use:<br>
* <pre><code>
* char *tgtstr = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox";
* char *patstr = "fox";
* UChar target[64];
* UChar pattern[16];
* UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* u_uastrcpy(target, tgtstr);
* u_uastrcpy(pattern, patstr);
*
* UStringSearch *search = usearch_open(pattern, -1, target, -1, "en_US",
* &status);
* if (U_SUCCESS(status)) {
* for (int pos = usearch_first(search, &status);
* pos != USEARCH_DONE;
* pos = usearch_next(search, &status)) {
* printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
* usearch_getMatchLength(search));
* }
* }
* </code></pre>
* @since ICU 2.0
