    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    A fuzzy Mediawiki search for "angry emoticon" has as a suggested result "andré emotions" In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly).

  3. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    contains(string,substring) returns boolean Description Returns whether string contains substring as a substring. This is equivalent to using Find and then detecting that it does not result in the failure condition listed in the third column of the Find section. However, some languages have a simpler way of expressing this test.

  4. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character 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, and so forth.

  5. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    One can find the lengths and starting positions of the longest common substrings of and in (+) time with the help of a generalized suffix tree.A faster algorithm can be achieved in the word RAM model of computation if the size of the input alphabet is in (⁡ (+)).

  6. Substring - Wikipedia

    If is a substring of , it is also a subsequence, which is a more general concept. The occurrences of a given pattern in a given string can be found with a string searching algorithm. Finding the longest string which is equal to a substring of two or more strings is known as the longest common substring problem.

  7. Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.

  8. Search box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_box

    A search box, search field or search bar is a graphical control element used in computer programs, such as file managers or web browsers, and on web sites. A search box is usually a single-line text box or search icon (which will transform into a search box on click activity) with the dedicated function of accepting user input to be searched ...

  9. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

    Comparison of two revisions of an example file, based on their longest common subsequence (black) A longest common subsequence (LCS) is the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences).
