There are several search functions in std.algorithm.

findSplit() is a versatile one, providing three ranges: before, at, and 
after the searched string.

import std.algorithm;

void main()
{
     auto s = "hello cool world";
     auto result = s.findSplit("cool");

     assert(result[0] == "hello ");
     assert(result[1] == "cool");
     assert(result[2] == " world");
}
