/**
* Returns a search pattern based on a given string pattern. The string patterns support '*' wild-cards.
* The remaining parameters are used to narrow down the type of expected results.
*
* <br>
* Examples:
* <ul>
* <li>search for case insensitive references to <code>Object</code>:
* <code>createSearchPattern("Object", TYPE, REFERENCES, false);</code></li>
* <li>search for case sensitive references to exact <code>Object()</code> constructor:
* <code>createSearchPattern("java.lang.Object()", CONSTRUCTOR, REFERENCES, true);</code></li>
* <li>search for implementers of <code>java.lang.Runnable</code>:
* <code>createSearchPattern("java.lang.Runnable", TYPE, IMPLEMENTORS, true);</code></li>
* </ul>
* @param stringPattern the given pattern
* @param searchFor determines the nature of the searched elements
* <ul>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.CLASS</code>: only look for classes</li>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.INTERFACE</code>: only look for interfaces</li>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.TYPE</code>: look for both classes and interfaces</li>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.FIELD</code>: look for fields</li>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.METHOD</code>: look for methods</li>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.CONSTRUCTOR</code>: look for constructors</li>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.PACKAGE</code>: look for packages</li>
* </ul>
* @param limitTo determines the nature of the expected matches
* <ul>
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.DECLARATIONS</code>: will search declarations matching with the corresponding
* element. In case the element is a method, declarations of matching methods in subtypes will also
* be found, allowing to find declarations of abstract methods, etc.</li>
*
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.REFERENCES</code>: will search references to the given element.</li>
*
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.ALL_OCCURRENCES</code>: will search for either declarations or references as specified
* above.</li>
*
* <li><code>IJavaSearchConstants.IMPLEMENTORS</code>: for interface, will find all types which implements a given interface.</li>
* </ul>
*
* @param isCaseSensitive indicates whether the search is case sensitive or not.
* @return a search pattern on the given string pattern, or <code>null</code> if the string pattern is ill-formed.
* @deprecated Use {@link SearchPattern#createPattern(String, int, int, int)} instead.
