How to check that some string contains a substring in the unit test code?

Question

Dear Developers and QA,

I would like to ask a very simple question, but it is very important for me.

Please, consider the following test:

When I enter the search phrase “Hello World” into the Google Search box Then the Google’s search page title should contain the string “Hello World”

How would you implement this verification (assertion) in the unit test code? Please, post your code samples in any programming languages you like.

Thanks in advance, Dmitry

I find it hard to believe that this is a unit test (unit being single function/method).

This seems more like a basic functional test through the user interface.

As Sam says there are many ways this can be done and different levels to "intercept" or get the "result."

WRT language, C# and Java have a method called string.Contains, and C++ has string.find. I am sure other languages have similar methods.
