Searches for the target string in the string. Use the Aho-Corasick automaton when search many words. Use the KMP when search single word.

npm install search.ts

import { buildSearch } from 'search.ts'

// when you want to search many words
const article = 'She is a so beautiful girl.'
const searcher = buildSearch(['She', 'he', 'girl', 'beautiful'])
console.log(searcher.search(article))

// when you want to search single word
const kmpSearcher = buildSearch('She')
