Defined in header <experimental/algorithm>
template<class ForwardIterator, class Searcher> ForwardIterator search( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last,                         const Searcher& searcher );		(library fundamentals TS)

Searches the sequece [first, last) for the pattern specified in the constructor of searcher

Effectively executes searcher(first, last).

Searcher need not be CopyConstructible.

The standard library provides the following searchers:

default_searcher	standard C++ library search algorithm implementation (class template)
boyer_moore_searcher	Boyer-Moore search algorithm implementation (class template)
boyer_moore_horspool_searcher	Boyer-Moore-Horspool search algorithm implementation (class template)

Return value

Returns the result of searcher.operator(), that is, an iterator to the location at which the substring is found or a copy of last if it was not found.

Complexity

Depends on the searcher

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <experimental/algorithm>
#include <experimental/functional>
 
int main()
{
    std::string in = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,"
                     " sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua";
    std::string needle = "pisci";
    auto it = std::experimental::search(in.begin(), in.end(),
                   std::experimental::make_boyer_moore_searcher(
                       needle.begin(), needle.end()));
    if(it != in.end())
        std::cout << "The string " << needle << " found at offset "
                  << it - in.begin() << '\n';
    else
        std::cout << "The string " << needle << " not found\n";
}

Output:

The string pisci found at offset 43
