For example, a

    if (String.Search(...) == STRING_NOTFOUND)

replaced with

    if (OUString.indexOf(...) == STRING_NOTFOUND)

will not work.

A even more tricky case is this:

String's functions usually deal silently with out-of-buffer
stituations, like asking to delete a part that overflow or even is
entirely outside a string.
and Search return as indicated above STRING_NOTFOUND that is 0xffff
i.e the max unsigned value of Xub_StrLen

so some code use this 'feature' to code something like:

pos=String.Search('#')
String.Erase(pos)

IOW: automated conversion is _not_ an option. String => OUString
convertion have to be carefully audited by hand, even if 99% of these
are trivial.
