*
* <tt>SearchIterator</tt> is an abstract base class that provides
* methods to search for a pattern within a text string. Instances of
* <tt>SearchIterator</tt> maintain a current position and scans over the
* target text, returning the indices the pattern is matched and the length
* of each match.
* <p>
* <tt>SearchIterator</tt> defines a protocol for text searching.
* Subclasses provide concrete implementations of various search algorithms.
* For example, <tt>StringSearch</tt> implements language-sensitive pattern
* matching based on the comparison rules defined in a
* <tt>RuleBasedCollator</tt> object.
* <p>
* Other options for searching includes using a BreakIterator to restrict
* the points at which matches are detected.
* <p>
* <tt>SearchIterator</tt> provides an API that is similar to that of
* other text iteration classes such as <tt>BreakIterator</tt>. Using
* this class, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of
* a given pattern. The following example uses a <tt>StringSearch</tt>
* object to find all instances of "fox" in the target string. Any other
* subclass of <tt>SearchIterator</tt> can be used in an identical
* manner.
* <pre><code>
* UnicodeString target("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox");
* UnicodeString pattern("fox");
*
* SearchIterator *iter = new StringSearch(pattern, target);
* UErrorCode error = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* for (int pos = iter->first(error); pos != USEARCH_DONE;
* pos = iter->next(error)) {
* printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
* iter.getMatchLength());
* }
* </code></pre>
