This library
provides multiple pattern search principally through an implementation of the
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aho%E2%80%93Corasick_algorithm">Aho-Corasick algorithm</a>,
which builds a fast finite state machine for executing searches in linear time.</p>
<p>Additionally, this library provides a number of configuration options for
building the automaton that permit controlling the space versus time trade
off. Other features include simple ASCII case insensitive matching, finding
overlapping matches, replacements, searching streams and even searching and
replacing text in streams.</p>
<p>Finally, unlike all other (known) Aho-Corasick implementations, this one
supports enabling
<a href="enum.MatchKind.html#variant.LeftmostFirst">leftmost-first</a>
or
<a href="enum.MatchKind.html#variant.LeftmostFirst">leftmost-longest</a>
match semantics, using a (seemingly) novel alternative construction algorithm.
For more details on what match semantics means, see the
<a href="enum.MatchKind.html"><code>MatchKind</code></a>
type.</p>
<h1 id="overview" class="section-header"><a href="#overview">Overview</a></h1>
<p>This section gives a brief overview of the primary types in this crate:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="struct.AhoCorasick.html"><code>AhoCorasick</code></a> is the primary type and represents
an Aho-Corasick automaton. This is the type you use to execute searches.</li>
<li><a href="struct.AhoCorasickBuilder.html"><code>AhoCorasickBuilder</code></a> can be used to build
an Aho-Corasick automaton, and supports configuring a number of options.</li>
<li><a href="struct.Match.html"><code>Match</code></a> represents a single match reported by an
Aho-Corasick automaton. Each match has two pieces of information: the pattern
that matched and the start and end byte offsets corresponding to the position
in the haystack at which it matched.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="example-basic-searching" class="section-header"><a href="#example-basic-searching">Example: basic searching</a></h1>
<p>This example shows how to search for occurrences of multiple patterns
simultaneously. Each match includes the pattern that matched along with the
byte offsets of the match.</p>

<h1 id="example-finding-the-leftmost-first-match" class="section-header"><a href="#example-finding-the-leftmost-first-match">Example: finding the leftmost first match</a></h1>
<p>In the textbook description of Aho-Corasick, its formulation is typically
structured such that it reports all possible matches, even when they overlap
with another. In many cases, overlapping matches may not be desired, such as
the case of finding all successive non-overlapping matches like you might with
a standard regular expression.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the &quot;obvious&quot; way to modify the Aho-Corasick algorithm to do
this doesn't always work in the expected way, since it will report matches as
soon as they are seen. For example, consider matching the regex <code>Samwise|Sam</code>
against the text <code>Samwise</code>. Most regex engines (that are Perl-like, or
non-POSIX) will report <code>Samwise</code> as a match, but the standard Aho-Corasick
algorithm modified for reporting non-overlapping matches will report <code>Sam</code>.</p>
<p>A novel contribution of this library is the ability to change the match
semantics of Aho-Corasick (without additional search time overhead) such that
<code>Samwise</code> is reported instead. For example, here's the standard approach:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">
<span class="kw">use</span> <span class="ident">aho_corasick</span>::<span class="ident">AhoCorasick</span>;
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">patterns</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="kw-2">&amp;</span>[<span class="string">&quot;Samwise&quot;</span>, <span class="string">&quot;Sam&quot;</span>];
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">haystack</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="string">&quot;Samwise&quot;</span>;
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">ac</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">AhoCorasick</span>::<span class="ident">new</span>(<span class="ident">patterns</span>);
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">mat</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">ac</span>.<span class="ident">find</span>(<span class="ident">haystack</span>).<span class="ident">expect</span>(<span class="string">&quot;should have a match&quot;</span>);
<span class="macro">assert_eq</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="string">&quot;Sam&quot;</span>, <span class="kw-2">&amp;</span><span class="ident">haystack</span>[<span class="ident">mat</span>.<span class="ident">start</span>()..<span class="ident">mat</span>.<span class="ident">end</span>()]);</pre></div>
<p>And now here's the leftmost-first version, which matches how a Perl-like
regex will work:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">
<span class="kw">use</span> <span class="ident">aho_corasick</span>::{<span class="ident">AhoCorasickBuilder</span>, <span class="ident">MatchKind</span>};

<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">haystack</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="string">&quot;Samwise&quot;</span>;
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">ac</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">AhoCorasickBuilder</span>::<span class="ident">new</span>()
.<span class="ident">match_kind</span>(<span class="ident">MatchKind</span>::<span class="ident">LeftmostFirst</span>)
.<span class="ident">build</span>(<span class="ident">patterns</span>);
<span class="kw">let</span> <span class="ident">mat</span> <span class="op">=</span> <span class="ident">ac</span>.<span class="ident">find</span>(<span class="ident">haystack</span>).<span class="ident">expect</span>(<span class="string">&quot;should have a match&quot;</span>);
<span class="macro">assert_eq</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="string">&quot;Samwise&quot;</span>, <span class="kw-2">&amp;</span><span class="ident">haystack</span>[<span class="ident">mat</span>.<span class="ident">start</span>()..<span class="ident">mat</span>.<span class="ident">end</span>()]);</pre></div>
<p>In addition to leftmost-first semantics, this library also supports
leftmost-longest semantics, which match the POSIX behavior of a regular
expression alternation. See
<a href="enum.MatchKind.html"><code>MatchKind</code></a>
for more details.</p>
<h1 id="prefilters" class="section-header"><a href="#prefilters">Prefilters</a></h1>
<p>While an Aho-Corasick automaton can perform admirably when compared to more
naive solutions, it is generally slower than more specialized algorithms that
are accelerated using vector instructions such as SIMD.</p>
<p>For that reason, this library will internally use a &quot;prefilter&quot; to attempt
to accelerate searches when possible. Currently, this library has fairly
limited implementation that only applies when there are 3 or fewer unique
starting bytes among all patterns in an automaton.</p>
<p>In the future, it is intended for this prefilter to grow more sophisticated
by pushing applicable optimizations from the
<a href="http://docs.rs/regex"><code>regex</code></a>
crate (and other places) down into this library.</p>
<p>While a prefilter is generally good to have on by default since it works well
in the common case, it can lead to less predictable or even sub-optimal
performance in some cases. For that reason, prefilters can be disabled via
<a href="struct.AhoCorasickBuilder.html#method.prefilter"><code>AhoCorasickBuilder::prefilter</code></a>.</p>
