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

772   *  This is an experimental function, and is not an official part of the
773   *      ICU API.
774   *
775   *  The collator options, such as UCOL_STRENGTH and UCOL_NORMALIZTION, are honored.

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