/usr/include/unicode/usearch.h (39039B)
* The implementation may use a linear search or a modified form of the Boyer-Moore * search; for more information on the latter see * * "Efficient Text Searching in Java", published in Java Report * in February, 1999. *
* There are 2 match options for selection:
* This search has APIs similar to that of other text iteration mechanisms
* such as the break iterators in ubrk.h. Using these
* APIs, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurrences of
* a given pattern. This search iterator allows changing of direction by
* calling a reset followed by a next or previous.
* Though a direction change can occur without calling reset 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
*
* usearch.h provides APIs to specify the starting position
* within the text string to be searched, e.g. usearch_setOffset,
* usearch_preceding and usearch_following. 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:
*
* 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.
*
* 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.
*
* Options are also provided to implement "asymmetric search" as described in
*
* UTS #10 Unicode Collation Algorithm, specifically the USearchAttribute
* USEARCH_ELEMENT_COMPARISON and its values.
*
* 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 usearch_getCollator and using the APIs in ucol.h.
* Lastly to update String Search to the new collator attributes,
* usearch_reset() has to be called.
*
* Restriction:
* Example of use:
* Use usearch_getMatchedLength to get the matched string length.
