Exact string matching algorithms animation in java, boyermoore. The insight behind boyermoore is that if you start searching for a pattern in a string starting with the last character in the pattern, you can jump your search forward multiple characters when you hit a mismatch lets say our pattern p is the sequence of characters p1, p2.
