TextIter.forwardSearch

bool forwardSearch(string str,  gtk.types.TextSearchFlags flags,  out  gtk.text_iter.TextIter matchStart,  out  gtk.text_iter.TextIter matchEnd,  gtk.text_iter.TextIter limit =  null)

Searches forward for str.

Any match is returned by setting match_start to the first character of the match and match_end to the first character after the match. The search will not continue past limit. Note that a search is a linear or O(n) operation, so you may wish to use limit to avoid locking up your UI on large buffers.

match_start will never be set to a [gtk.text_iter.TextIter] located before iter, even if there is a possible match_end after or at iter.

Parameters

`str`	a search string
`flags`	flags affecting how the search is done
`matchStart`	return location for start of match
`matchEnd`	return location for end of match
`limit`	location of last possible match_end, or null for the end of the buffer

Returns

whether a match was found
