slice off the front:

char[] string = ...

int i = FindInString(string, "whatever");
i++;
i += FindInString(string[i..$], "whatever");

You may want to change this a bit for checking the return value (test of 
no matche) and starting then next search more than one part the last (to 
avoid overlapping matches.
