 Frodo's Workshop - Boyer-Moore Algorithm
The method outlined in the paper came to be known as the Boyer-Moore string-search algorithm and has since been the subject of countless papers.
Boyer-Moore is one of a larger family of algorithms designed for performing exact string searches, approximate string searches, 'sounds-like' string searches, and other types of textual comparisons.
In 1977, R.S. Boyer and J.S. Moore published a paper entitled A Fast String Searching Algorithm that described a more efficient approach to string searching.

Sunday recently gave several algorithms to find the first occurrence of a pattern string as a substring of a text, providing experimental data from searches in a text of about 200K characters to support his claim that his algorithms are faster than the standard Boyer-Moore algorithm.
We present a methodology for the average-case analysis of the performance of string search algorithms---for such algorithms, a worst-case analysis does not yield much useful information, since the performance of the algorithm is directly affected by such characteristics as the size of the character set, the character frequencies, and the structure of the text.
Baeza-Yates, Gonnet, and Regnier gave a probabilistic analysis of the worst- and average-case behavior of a string search algorithm based upon such an automaton.

 The Boyer-Moore Algorithm
The Boyer-Moore algorithm is significantly better, and works by searching the target string s2 from right to left, while moving it left to right along s1.
The Boyer-Moore algorithm in fact combines this method of skipping over characters with a method similar to the KMP algorithm (useful to improve efficiency after you've partially matched a string).
If the search string is very large, then it is likely that a given character WILL appear in it, but we still get a good improvement compared with the other algorithms (approx N*2/alphabet_size if characters are randomly distributed in a string).

The first is an application of the Boyer-Moore algorithm (Boyer & Moore, 1977) to a transformed string.
The first is based on the Boyer-Moore pattern matching algorithm (Boyer & Moore, 1977), and the second is based on binary search.
The binary search in particular is strongly related to efficient indexing strategies such as binary trees, and suggests a number of new applications of the Burrows-Wheeler transform in data storage and retrieval.

 Boyer-Moore string search algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The algorithm preprocesses the target string that is being searched for, but not the string being searched (unlike some algorithms which preprocess the string to be searched, and can then amortize the expense of the preprocessing by searching repeatedly).
The worst-case performance of the algorithm to find all matches is approximately N*M. This worst case is hit when the string to be searched consists of repetitions of a single character, and the target string consists of M-1 repetitions of that character preceded by a single instance of a different character.

 Rabin-Karp string search algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabin-Karp is inferior for single pattern searching to Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm, Boyer-Moore string searching algorithm and other faster single pattern string searching algorithms because of its slow worst case behavior.
This algorithm works well in many practical cases, but can exhibit relatively long running times on certain examples, such as searching for a string of 10,000 "a"s followed by a "b" in a string of 10 million "a"s, in which case it exhibits its worst-case Θ(mn) time.

 SGREP: Boyer-Moore regular expression searching
An analogous algorithm to Boyer-Moore string searching, but for regular expressions not strings (actually, for searching finite automata), allows searching in a text of n characters for a pattern whose shortest match is m characters while looking at only n/m characters in the best case, n worst case.
The algorithm places a scanning point further to the right of the anchor point, and scans it leftwards back towards the anchor.
Worst case performance could be pretty bad, as a new finite automaton is (lazily) constructed, whose possible states number on the order of m*2^(s^2)*2^s where s is the number of states in the original nfa; this should be compared to 2^s, the number of possible states in the traditional search DFA.

 JEA 1998 Home Page for Kim
Unlike the well-known Boyer-Moore algorithm and its variants, our algorithm does not compute variable shift lengths, thus providing a conceptually simpler way to search for patterns.
In this paper we present a new string-pattern matching algorithm that partitions the text into segments of the input pattern length and searches for pattern occurrences using a simple hashing scheme.
The notion of non-occurrence heuristic used in our algorithm, together with a text partitioning scheme, leads to a simplified scheme for searching for pattern occurrences, thus yielding better runtime performance.

 Updates
The Boyer Moore algorithm is another variation on the idea of learning something from the search string and skipping ahead whenever possible.
However, as the size of the text string increases, the difference becomes apparent and you begin to see that the Boyer Moore method is much faster than the Knuth Morris Pratt method.
The Boyer Moore algorithm is complex, making the algorithm harder to understand and program.

 Frodo's Workshop - Boyer-Moore Algorithm
Where a brute force comparison left-aligns the strings to be compared and begins with the first character in each string, Boyer-Moore left-aligns the strings and compares the last character of the search string to the corresponding character in the string to be searched.
The simplest approach to string searching is the brute-force method, which involves comparing each and every substring in the text that's being searched against the text that's being searched for.
