Search for substring in two dimensional array

Save the string “WELCOMETOZOHOCORPORATION” in a two dimensional array and search for substring like “too” in the two dimensional string both from left to right and from top to bottom.
W E L C O
M E T O Z
O H O C O
R P O R A
T I O N   
And print the start and ending index as
Start index : <1,2>
End index: <3, 2>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
 int i,j,cols,k=-1;
 char a[50],b[50][50],t=0,search[50]; 
void searchword(char b[50][50],char search[50],int i1,int j1 )  //searching given substring

 int i=0,j=j1,end1,end2,found=0;
  for(i=0;i<strlen(search);i++)
  {
     if(b[i1][j1]==search[i]){//printf("%c",search[i]);
        end1=i1;end2=j1;++j1;++found;
     }
     else {
     break;}
  }
     if(found==strlen(search))
     {    printf("start index : <%d,%d>\n",i1+1,j+1);
          printf("end index   : <%d,%d>\n",end1+1,end2+1);found=0;
           } j1=j;j=i1;found=0;
  for(i=0;i<strlen(search);i++)
  {
    if(b[i1][j1]==search[i]){
     end1=i1;end2=j1;++i1;++found;}
    else {break;  }
  }     
  if(found==strlen(search))
   { printf("start index : <%d,%d>\n",j+1,j1+1);
     printf("end index   : <%d,%d>\n",end1+1,end2+1);found=0;} 
}
int main()
{
 scanf("%s",a);       // input string 
 scanf("%d",&cols);   //column width
 scanf("%s",search);   //substring
  for(i=0;i<=strlen(a)/cols;i++)
  {
    for(j=0;j<cols;j++)
    {  
        b[i][j]=a[++k];printf("%c ",b[i][j]);
    }
printf("\n");
  }
 k=0;
 for(i=0;i<=strlen(a)/cols;i++)
 {
     for(j=0;j<cols;j++)
     {
         if(b[i][j]==search[0])
         {
             searchword(b,search,i,j);   // pass 1st indexes present in given matrix
         }
     }
 }
 return 0;
 }
