Find a matching key

== Synopsis


Declared in `<https://www.github.com/boostorg/url/blob/develop/include/boost/url/params_encoded_base.hpp#L526[boost/url/params_encoded_base.hpp]>`

find_last(
    xref:boost/urls/params_encoded_base/iterator.adoc[iterator] before,
    xref:boost/urls/pct_string_view.adoc[pct_string_view] key,
    xref:boost/urls/ignore_case_param.adoc[ignore_case_param] ic = {}) const noexcept;
----

== Description


This function examines the parameters        in the container to find a match for        the specified key, which may contain        percent escapes.        The comparison is performed as if all        escaped characters were decoded first.

The search starts prior to `before`        and proceeds backwards until either the        key is found or the beginning of the        range is reached, in which case `end()`        is returned.


=== Example

[,cpp]
----
url_view u( "?First=John&Last=Doe" );

assert( u.encoded_params().find_last( "last" ) != u.encoded_params().find_last( "last", ignore_case ) );
----

=== Complexity

Linear in `this‐>buffer().size()`.



== Return Value


an iterator to the param



== Parameters


|===
| Name | Description

| *before*
| One past the position        to begin the search from. This can        be `end()`.


| *key*
| The key to match.        By default, a case‐sensitive        comparison is used.


| *ic*
| An optional parameter. If        the value xref:boost/urls/ignore_case.adoc[ignore_case] is passed        here, the comparison is        case‐insensitive.
