The trait `FnMut<(char,)>` is not implemented for `String` when trying to split a string

I need to split a String (not &str) by another String:

use std::str::Split;

fn main() {
    let x = "".to_string().split("".to_string());
}

Why do I get this error and how to avoid it if I already have to operate on strings?

error[E0277]: the trait bound `std::string::String: std::ops::FnMut<(char,)>` is not satisfied
 --> src/main.rs:4:32

4 |         let x = "".to_string().split("".to_string());
  |                                ^^^^^ the trait `std::ops::FnMut<(char,)>` is not implemented for `std::string::String`

  = note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `std::str::pattern::Pattern<'_>` for `std::string::String`

According to the #rust-beginners IRC channel, this might be an example of Deref failing in 1.20.0-nightly. How to split a string in Rust? doesn't address the problem of splitting by String, not &str.
