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));
125  *     }
