// The SearchObject class represents a char_samp (a word bitmap) that is
// being searched for characters (or recognizeable entities).
// This is an abstract class that all SearchObjects should inherit from
// A SearchObject class provides methods to:
// 1- Returns the count of segments
// 2- Recognize a segment range
// 3- Creates a CharSamp for a segment range
