mb_ereg_search — Multibyte regular expression match for predefined multibyte string

### Description

bool mb_ereg_search ([ string `$pattern` [, string `$option` ]] )

mb_ereg_search() returns `TRUE` if the multibyte string matches with the regular expression, `FALSE` for otherwise. The string for matching is set by mb_ereg_search_init(). If `pattern` is not specified, the previous one is used.

The internal encoding or the character encoding specified in mb_regex_encoding() will be used as character encoding.
