You can you use std.algorithm.canFind if all you care about is if one string 
is in the other. You can even use std.algorithm.boyerMooreFinder with find to 
use the boyer moore algorithm (though in that case, since for some reason, 
canFind doesn't have an overload which takes a BoyerMooreFinder, you'd have to 
use find and check whether the result was empty - and if it is, then the string 
wasn't there).

But depending on what exactly you're trying to do, many of the functions in 
the "searching" section at the top of std.algorithm could be used:
