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 algorithm implemented is a modified form of the Boyer Moore's search.
34  * For more information  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, for further information on the algorithm.
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  * Though collator attributes will be taken into consideration while
95  * performing matches, there are no APIs here for setting and getting the
96  * attributes. These attributes can be set by getting the collator
97  * from <tt>usearch_getCollator</tt> and using the APIs in <tt>ucol.h</tt>.
98  * Lastly to update String Search to the new collator attributes,
99  * usearch_reset() has to be called.
100  * <p>
101  * Restriction: <br>
102  * Currently there are no composite characters that consists of a
103  * character with combining class > 0 before a character with combining
104  * class == 0. However, if such a character exists in the future, the
105  * search mechanism does not guarantee the results for option 1.
106  *
107  * <p>
108  * Example of use:<br>
109  * <pre><code>
110  * char *tgtstr = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox";
111  * char *patstr = "fox";
112  * UChar target[64];
113  * UChar pattern[16];
114  * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
115  * u_uastrcpy(target, tgtstr);
116  * u_uastrcpy(pattern, patstr);
117  *
118  * UStringSearch *search = usearch_open(pattern, -1, target, -1, "en_US",
119  *                                  NULL, &status);
120  * if (U_SUCCESS(status)) {
121  *     for (int pos = usearch_first(search, &status);
122  *          pos != USEARCH_DONE;
123  *          pos = usearch_next(search, &status))
124  *     {
125  *         printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
126  *                                        usearch_getMatchLength(search));
127  *     }
128  * }
129  *
130  * usearch_close(search);

724   *
725   *      A match will not include a partial combining sequence.  Combining
726   *      character sequences  are considered to be  inseperable units,
727   *      and either match the pattern completely, or are considered to not match
728   *      at all.  Thus, for example, an A followed a combining accent mark will

730   *      the collation strength has been set to ignore all accents).
731   *
732   *      When beginning a search, the initial starting position, startIdx,
733   *      is assumed to be an acceptable match boundary with respect to
734   *      combining characters.  A combining sequence that spans across the
735   *      starting point will not supress a match beginning at startIdx.
736   *
737   *      Characters that expand to multiple collation elements
738   *      (German sharp-S becoming 'ss', or the composed forms of accented
739   *      characters, for example) also must match completely.

767 /**
768   *  Simple backwards search for the pattern, starting at a specified index,
769   *     and using using a default set search options.
770   *
771   *  This is an experimental function, and is not an official part of the
772   *      ICU API.
773   *
774   *  The collator options, such as UCOL_STRENGTH and UCOL_NORMALIZTION, are honored.
775   *
776   *  The UStringSearch options USEARCH_CANONICAL_MATCH, USEARCH_OVERLAP and
777   *  any Break Iterator are ignored.
778   *
779   *  Matches obey the following constraints:
780   *
781   *      Characters at the start or end positions of a match that are ignorable
782   *      for collation are not included as part of the match, unless they
783   *      are part of a combining sequence, as described below.
784   *
785   *      A match will not include a partial combining sequence.  Combining
786   *      character sequences  are considered to be  inseperable units,
787   *      and either match the pattern completely, or are considered to not match
788   *      at all.  Thus, for example, an A followed a combining accent mark will
789   *      not be found when searching for a plain (unaccented) A.   (unless
790   *      the collation strength has been set to ignore all accents).
791   *
792   *      When beginning a search, the initial starting position, startIdx,
793   *      is assumed to be an acceptable match boundary with respect to
794   *      combining characters.  A combining sequence that spans across the
795   *      starting point will not supress a match beginning at startIdx.
796   *
797   *      Characters that expand to multiple collation elements
798   *      (German sharp-S becoming 'ss', or the composed forms of accented
799   *      characters, for example) also must match completely.
800   *      Searching for a single 's' in a string containing only a sharp-s will
801   *      find no match.
802   *
803   *
804   *  @param strsrch    the UStringSearch struct, which references both
805   *                    the text to be searched  and the pattern being sought.
806   *  @param startIdx   The index into the text to begin the search.
807   *  @param matchStart An out parameter, the starting index of the matched text.
808   *                    This parameter may be NULL.
809   *                    A value of -1 will be returned if no match was found.
810   *  @param matchLimit Out parameter, the index of the first position following the matched text.
811   *                    The matchLimit will be at a suitable position for beginning a subsequent search
812   *                    in the input text.
813   *                    This parameter may be NULL.
814   *                    A value of -1 will be returned if no match was found.
815   *
816   *  @param status     Report any errors.  Note that no match found is not an error.
817   *  @return           TRUE if a match was found, FALSE otherwise.
