For the definition of /*execution-policy*/, see this page; for the definition of /*sized-random-access-range*/, see this page.
Searches for the first occurrence of the target range in the source range. The elements (projected by proj1 and proj2 respectively) are compared using the binary predicate pred.
1) The source range is
[first1, last1), and the target range is [first2, last2).2) The source range is
r1, and the target range is r2.3,4) Same as (1,2), but executed according to
policy.The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as 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 inhibited.
Parameters
| first1, last1 | - | the iterator-sentinel pair defining the source range |
| first2, last2 | - | the iterator-sentinel pair defining the target range |
| r1 | - | the source range |
| r2 | - | the target range |
| pred | - | the predicate to be applied to the (projected) elements |
| proj1 | - | the projection to be applied to the elements in the source range |
| proj2 | - | the projection to be applied to the elements in the target range |
| policy | - | the execution policy to use |
Return value
A subrange corresponding to the first occurrence of the target range in the source range.
If the target range is empty or it does not appear in the source range, an empty range is returned.
Complexity
Given
- N1 as
ranges::distance(first1, last1)orranges::distance(r1), and - N2 as
ranges::distance(first2, last2)orranges::distance(r2):
1,2) At most N1⋅N2 applications of
pred, proj1 and proj2.3,4) 𝓞(N1⋅N2) applications of
pred, proj1 and proj2.Exceptions
3,4) During the execution process:
- If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
- If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for standard policies, std::terminate is invoked).

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}
