+ * Simple forward search for the pattern, starting at a specified index,
+ * and using using a default set search options.
+ *
+ * This is an experimental function, and is not an official part of the
+ * ICU API.
+ *
+ * The collator options, such as UCOL_STRENGTH and UCOL_NORMALIZTION, are honored.
+ *
+ * The UStringSearch options USEARCH_CANONICAL_MATCH, USEARCH_OVERLAP and
+ * any Break Iterator are ignored.
+ *
+ * Matches obey the following constraints:
+ *
+ * Characters at the start or end positions of a match that are ignorable
+ * for collation are not included as part of the match, unless they
+ * are part of a combining sequence, as described below.
+ *
+ * A match will not include a partial combining sequence. Combining
+ * character sequences are considered to be inseperable units,
+ * and either match the pattern completely, or are considered to not match
+ * at all. Thus, for example, an A followed a combining accent mark will
+ * not be found when searching for a plain (unaccented) A. (unless
+ * the collation strength has been set to ignore all accents).
+ *
+ * When beginning a search, the initial starting position, startIdx,
+ * is assumed to be an acceptable match boundary with respect to
+ * combining characters. A combining sequence that spans across the
+ * starting point will not supress a match beginning at startIdx.
+ *
+ * Characters that expand to multiple collation elements
+ * (German sharp-S becoming 'ss', or the composed forms of accented
+ * characters, for example) also must match completely.
+ * Searching for a single 's' in a string containing only a sharp-s will
+ * find no match.
+ *
+ *
+ * @param strsrch the UStringSearch struct, which references both
+ * the text to be searched and the pattern being sought.
+ * @param startIdx The index into the text to begin the search.
+ * @param matchStart An out parameter, the starting index of the matched text.
+ * This parameter may be NULL.
+ * A value of -1 will be returned if no match was found.
+ * @param matchLimit Out parameter, the index of the first position following the matched text.
+ * The matchLimit will be at a suitable position for beginning a subsequent search
+ * in the input text.
+ * This parameter may be NULL.
+ * A value of -1 will be returned if no match was found.
+ *
+ * @param status Report any errors. Note that no match found is not an error.
+ * @return TRUE if a match was found, FALSE otherwise.
