/**
* BoyerMooreSearch
*
* This object holds the information needed to do a Collation sensitive Boyer-Moore search. It encapulates
* the pattern, the "bad character" and "good suffix" tables, the Collator-based data needed to compute them,
* and a reference to the text being searched.
*
* To do a search, you fist need to get a <code>CollData</code> object by calling <code>CollData::open</code>.
* Then you construct a <code>BoyerMooreSearch</code> object from the <code>CollData</code> object, the pattern
* string and the target string. Then you call the <code>search</code> method. Here's a code sample:
*
* <pre>
* void boyerMooreExample(UCollator *collator, UnicodeString *pattern, UnicodeString *target)
* {
* UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* CollData *collData = CollData::open(collator, status);
*
* if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
* // could not create a CollData object
* return;
* }
*
* BoyerMooreSearch *search = new BoyerMooreSearch(collData, *patternString, target, status);
*
* if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
* // could not create a BoyerMooreSearch object
* CollData::close(collData);
* return;
* }
*
* int32_t offset = 0, start = -1, end = -1;
*
* // Find all matches
* while (search->search(offset, start, end)) {
* // process the match between start and end
* ...
* // advance past the match
* offset = end;
* }
*
* // at this point, if offset == 0, there were no matches
* if (offset == 0) {
* // handle the case of no matches
* }
*
* delete search;
* CollData::close(collData);
*
* // CollData objects are cached, so the call to
* // CollData::close doesn't delete the object.
* // Call this if you don't need the object any more.
* CollData::flushCollDataCache();
* }
* </pre>
*
* NOTE: This is a technology preview. The final version of this API may not bear any resenblence to this API.
*
* Knows linitations:
* 1) Backwards searching has not been implemented.
*
* 2) For Han and Hangul characters, this code ignores any Collation tailorings. In general,
* this isn't a problem, but in Korean locals, at strength 1, Hangul characters are tailored
* to be equal to Han characters with the same pronounciation. Because this code ignroes
* tailorings, searching for a Hangul character will not find a Han character and visa-versa.
*
* 3) In some cases, searching for a pattern that needs to be normalized and ends
* in a discontiguous contraction may fail. The only known cases of this are with
* the Tibetan script. For example searching for the pattern
* "\u0F7F\u0F80\u0F81\u0F82\u0F83\u0F84\u0F85" will fail. (This case is artificial. We've
* been unable to find a pratical, real-world example of this failure.)
