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.
A string is a substring (or factor) [1] of a string if there exists two strings and such that =.In particular, the empty string is a substring of every string. Example: The string = ana is equal to substrings (and subsequences) of = banana at two different offsets:
One possible definition of the approximate string matching problem is the following: Given a pattern string =... and a text string = …, find a substring ′, = ′ … in T, which, of all substrings of T, has the smallest edit distance to the pattern P.
P denotes the string to be searched for, called the pattern. Its length is m. S[i] denotes the character at index i of string S, counting from 1. S[i..j] denotes the substring of string S starting at index i and ending at j, inclusive. A prefix of S is a substring S[1..i] for some i in range [1, l], where l is the length of S.
find(string,substring) returns integer Description Returns the position of the start of the first occurrence of substring in string. If the substring is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE.

In computer science, a substring index is a data structure which gives substring search in a text or text collection in sublinear time. Once constructed from a document or set of documents, a substring index can be used to locate all occurrences of a pattern in time linear or near-linear in the pattern size, with no dependence or only logarithmic dependence on the document size.
