stringi-search-coll: Locale-Sensitive Text Searching in
Description
String searching facilities described in this very man page
provide a way to locate a specific piece of
text. Note that locale-sensitive searching, especially
on a non-English text, is a much more complex process
than it seems at the first glance.Locale-Aware String Search Engine
All stri_*_coll functions in stringi utilize
ICU's StringSearch engine --
which implements a locale-sensitive string search algorithm.
The matches are defined by using the notion of ``canonical equivalence''
between strings. Tuning the Collator's parameters allows you to perform correct matching
that properly takes into account accented letters, conjoined letters,
ignorable punctuation and letter case. For more information on ICU's Collator and the search engine
and how to tune it up
in stringi, refer to stri_opts_collator. Please note that ICU's StringSearch-based functions
often exhibit poor performance. These functions are not intended to
be fast; they are made to give correct in natural
language processing tasks.See Also
