Algorithms and default syntax are hidden inside package protected classes
as we don’t want to fully open these until we know API’s are good to go
for longer support. You need to construct SearchMatch via its
build-in builder.
link:../../test/java/org/springframework/shell/docs/SearchAlgorithmsSnippets.java[role=include]It’s possible to configure case sensitivity, on what direction search happens or if text should be normilized before search happens. Normalization is handy when different languages have sligh variation for same type of characters.
Search algorithm is selected based on a search syntax shown in below table.
