* The algorithm implemented is a modified form of the Boyer Moore's search. * For more information see * * "Efficient Text Searching in Java", published in Java Report * in February, 1999, for further information on the algorithm. *

* There are 2 match options for selection:
* Let S' be the sub-string of a text string S between the offsets start and * end . *
* A pattern string P matches a text string S at the offsets * if *

 
 * option 1. Some canonical equivalent of P matches some canonical equivalent 
 *           of S'
 * option 2. P matches S' and if P starts or ends with a combining mark, 
 *           there exists no non-ignorable combining mark before or after S? 
 *           in S respectively. 
 * 
* Option 2. will be the default. *

* This search has APIs similar to that of other text iteration mechanisms * such as the break iterators in BreakIterator. Using these * APIs, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances 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. * Match results in the forward direction will match the result matches in * the backwards direction in the reverse order *

* SearchIterator provides APIs to specify the starting position * within the text string to be searched, e.g. setOffset, * preceding and following. Since the * starting position will be set as it is specified, please take note that * there are some danger points 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. *

* 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 getCollator and using the APIs in coll.h. * Lastly to update StringSearch to the new collator attributes, * reset() has to be called. *

* Restriction:
* Currently there are no composite characters that consists of a * character with combining class > 0 before a character with combining * class == 0. However, if such a character exists in the future, * StringSearch does not guarantee the results for option 1. *

* Consult the SearchIterator documentation for information on * and examples of how to use instances of this class to implement text * searching. *
