std::ranges::search(3)	       C++ Standard Libary	  std::ranges::search(3)

NAME
     std::ranges::search - std::ranges::search

Synopsis
	Defined in header <algorithm>
	Call signature
	template< std::forward_iterator I1, std::sentinel_for<I1> S1,

		  std::forward_iterator I2, std::sentinel_for<I2> S2,
		  class Pred = ranges::equal_to,
		  class 	    Proj1	     =		  std::identity,
     (since
		  class 	Proj2	      = 	std::identity	       >
     (1) C++20)
	requires std::indirectly_comparable<I1, I2, Pred, Proj1, Proj2>
	constexpr ranges::subrange<I1>
	    search( I1 first1, S1 last1, I2 first2, S2 last2, Pred pred = {},

		    Proj1 proj1 = {}, Proj2 proj2 = {} );
	template< ranges::forward_range R1, ranges::forward_range R2,

		  class Pred = ranges::equal_to,
		  class Proj1 = std::identity,
		  class Proj2 = std::identity>
	requires	      std::indirectly_comparable<ranges::iterator_t<R1>,
     (2) (since
					    ranges::iterator_t<R2>, Pred, Proj1,
     C++20)
	Proj2>
	constexpr ranges::borrowed_subrange_t<R1>

	    search( R1&& r1, R2&& r2, Pred pred = {}, Proj1 proj1 = {}, Proj2
	proj2 = {} );

	1) Searches for  the  first  occurrence  of  the  sequence  of	elements
     [first2, last2) in
	the  range [first1, last1). Elements are compared using binary predicate
     pred after
	being projected with proj2 and proj1, respectively.
	2) Same as (1), but uses r1 as the first source range and r2 as the sec-
     ond source
	range, as if  using  ranges::begin(r1)	as  first1,  ranges::end(r1)  as
     last1,
	ranges::begin(r2) as first2, and ranges::end(r2) as last2.

	The  function-like  entities  described on this page are niebloids, that
     is:

	  * Explicit template argument lists cannot be	specified  when  calling
     any of them.
	  * None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup.
	  *  When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name
     to the left
	    of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup  is  inhib-
     ited.

	In  practice,  they may be implemented as function objects, or with spe-
     cial compiler
	extensions.

Parameters
	first1, last1 - the range of elements to examine (aka haystack)
	first2, last2 - the range of elements to search for (aka needle)
	r1	      - the range of elements to examine (aka haystack)
	r2	      - the range of elements to search for (aka needle)
	pred	      - binary predicate to apply to the projected elements
	proj1	      - projection to apply to the elements in the first range
	proj2	      - projection to apply to the elements in the second range

Return value
	1) Returns a ranges::subrange value that is the first occurrence of  the
     sequence
	[first2,   last2)  (aka  needle)  in  the  range  [first1,  last1)  (aka
     haystack), after
	application of the projections proj1 and proj2 to the elements	of  both
     sequences
	respectively with consequencing application of the binary predicate pred
     to compare
	projected elements.

	If  no	such  occurrence is found, ranges::subrange{last1, last1} is re-
     turned.

	If the range to search for (aka needle) is  empty,  that  is  first2  ==
     last2, then the
	ranges::subrange{first1, first1} is returned.
	2) Same as (1) but the return type is ranges::borrowed_subrange_t<R1>.

Complexity
	At  most S * N applications of the corresponding predicate and each pro-
     jection, where
	(1) S = ranges::distance(first2, last2) and N = ranges::distance(first1,
     last1);
	(2) S = ranges::distance(r2) and N = ranges::distance(r1).

Example
     // Run this code

      #include <algorithm>
      #include <cctype>
      #include <iostream>
      #include <iterator>
      #include <string_view>

      using namespace std::literals;

      void print(int id, const auto& haystack, const auto& needle,  const  auto&
     found)
      {
	  std::cout  << id << ") search(\"" << haystack << "\", \"" << needle <<
     "\"); ";
	  const auto first = std::distance(haystack.begin(), found.begin());
	  const auto last = std::distance(haystack.begin(), found.end());
	  if (found.empty())
	      std::cout << "not found;";
	  else
	  {
	      std::cout << "found: \"";
	      for (const auto x : found)
		  std::cout << x;
	      std::cout << "\";";
	  }
	  std::cout << " subrange: {" << first << ", " << last << "}\n";
      }

      int main()
      {
	  constexpr auto haystack {"abcd abcd"sv};
	  constexpr auto needle {"bcd"sv};

	  // the search uses iterator pairs begin()/end():
	  constexpr auto found1 = std::ranges::search(
	      haystack.begin(), haystack.end(),
	      needle.begin(), needle.end());
	  print(1, haystack, needle, found1);

	  // the search uses ranges r1, r2:
	  constexpr auto found2 = std::ranges::search(haystack, needle);
	  print(2, haystack, needle, found2);

	  // 'needle' range is empty:
	  constexpr auto none {""sv};
	  constexpr auto found3 = std::ranges::search(haystack, none);
	  print(3, haystack, none, found3);

	  // 'needle' will not be found:
	  constexpr auto awl {"efg"sv};
	  constexpr auto found4 = std::ranges::search(haystack, awl);
	  print(4, haystack, awl, found4);

	  // the search uses custom comparator and projections:
	  constexpr auto bodkin {"234"sv};
	  auto found5 = std::ranges::search(haystack, bodkin,
	      [](const int x, const int y) { return x == y; }, // pred
	      [](const int x) { return std::toupper(x); }, // proj1
	      [](const int y) { return y + 'A' - '1'; }); // proj2
	  print(5, haystack, bodkin, found5);
      }

Output:
      1) search("abcd abcd", "bcd"); found: "bcd"; subrange: {1, 4}
      2) search("abcd abcd", "bcd"); found: "bcd"; subrange: {1, 4}
      3) search("abcd abcd", ""); not found; subrange: {0, 0}
      4) search("abcd abcd", "efg"); not found; subrange: {9, 9}
      5) search("abcd abcd", "234"); found: "bcd"; subrange: {1, 4}
