(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
String searching algorithms are an important class of string algorithms that try to find a place where one or several strings (also called patterns) are found within a larger string or text.Let Σ be an alphabet (finite set). Formally, both the pattern and searched text are concatenation of elemements of Σ. The Σ may be usual human alphabet (A-Z). Other applications may use binary alphabet (Σ = {0,1}) or DNA alphabet (Σ = {A,C,G,T}) in bioinformatics.
Basic classification
The various algorithms can be classified by the number of patterns each uses.
Where m and n are the length of the two strings being compared.
Algorithms Preprocessing Time Matching Time Naïve string search algorithm 0 (no preprocessing) O((n-m+1)m) Rabin-Karp algorithm θ(m) O((n-m+1)m) Finite Automata O(m|Σ|) θ(n) Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm θ(m) θ(n) Boyer-Moore string search algorithm Baeza-Yates and Gonnet string search algorithm
Algorithms using finite set of patterns
- Aho-Corasick algorithm
Algorithms using infinite number of patterns
Naturally, the patterns can not be enumerated in this case. They are represented usually by a regular grammar or regular expression.

Naïve string search
The simplest and least efficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check each place it could be, one by one, to see if it's there. So first we see if there's a copy of the needle in the first few characters of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack; if not, we look starting at the third character, and so forth. In the normal case, we only have to look at one or two characters for each wrong position to see that it's a wrong position, so in the average case, this takes O(n + m) steps, where n is the length of the haystack and m is the length of the needle; but in the worst case, searching for a string like "aaaab" in a string like "aaaaaaaaab", it takes O(nm) steps.
stubs
KMP computes a deterministic finite state automaton that recognizes inputs with the string to search for as a suffix, so it doesn't need to back up. Boyer-Moore starts searching from the end of the needle, so it can usually jump ahead a whole needle-length at each step. Baeza-Yates and Gonnet uses bits in a word to keep track of whether the previous N characters were a prefix of the search string, and is therefore adaptable to fuzzy string searching etc.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | LEAD, n. A heavy blue-gray metal much used in giving stability to light lovers -- particularly to those who love not wisely but other men's wives. Lead is also of great service as a counterpoise to an argument of such weight that it turns the scale of debate the wrong way. An interesting fact in the chemistry of international controversy is that at the point of contact of two patriotisms lead is precipitated in great quantities. Hail, holy Lead! -- of human feuds the great And universal arbiter; endowed With penetration to pierce any cloud Fogging the field of controversial hate, And with a sift, inevitable, straight, Searching precision find the unavowed But vital point. Thy judgment, when allowed By the chirurgeon, settles the debate. O useful metal! -- were it not for thee We'd grapple one another's ears alway: But when we hear thee buzzing like a bee We, like old Muhlenberg, "care not to stay." And when the quick have run away like pellets Jack Satan smelts the dead to make new bullets. |
