I think regexp are the right choice:
(regexp-match? (regexp sub-str) str))

I've just submitted a Racket solution to Rosetta Code for "I before E

and noticed a couple of seeming omissions from the basic string
operations,
or more likely the documentation. I ended up rustling up a quick and
dirty
test for whether one string includes another as a substring:
(define (in? str sub-str)
(not (string=? str (string-replace str sub-str ""))))
Is there something I could have used out-of-the-box? No doubt I could
have
used regular expressions, but that seemed like overkill. I was also
unable
to locate code for searching strings.
Other feedback on my rosetta code also most welcome.
