Text search with typos consideration - how does it work?

Akhil Pokle's article delves into the algorithm behind the Ctrl+F functionality, a tool that is indispensable for searching text on websites and documents. While most users know and use the Ctrl+F shortcut, few consider its underlying mechanics. The author begins by discussing how text is stored and moves on to various search techniques, such as linear searching and more sophisticated algorithms like Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP). He highlights the importance of algorithm efficiency relative to text length and the frequency of the searched word. In the final section, Pokle suggests how to implement a simple search algorithm in JavaScript, making the article particularly practical. Overall, this piece offers valuable insights for both beginners and those looking to deepen their knowledge of text searching algorithms.
