    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  *     }
       
   126  * }
