The problem is the following: You are given a collection( set, list, whatever ) C of sets, and you are given a search set S. We want to find among all sets in C the ones which are subsets of S. Hence, the statement would be: What is the best way to return all sets from C which are a subset of search set S?

I'm not looking for element of C to be superset of S, but for element of C to be subset of S, so the other way around. – Vladimir Feb 24 '22 at 21:52

1If you "take complements of all sets", that swaps superset vs subset, showing a close connection between those two problems and allowing you to apply techniques for one to solve the other. – D.W. Feb 24 '22 at 22:23
