+String matching is the fundamental task of locating instances of a given "pattern" within a larger "text". It is a core operation in computer science, driving everything from simple search functions in [Text Editing](/wiki/text_editing) to complex pattern recognition in [Bioinformatics](/wiki/bioinformatics) and data analysis. These algorithms are essential for parsing, validating, and extracting information from sequences of characters.
