but really not much of a shame to see the function fade away Agreed. Whilst Boyer-Moore (and some of the others: Aho-Corasick; Rabin-Karp; etc.) can be beneficial for specific tasks and algorithms -- spam filters; virus detection -- they rarely live up to their promise for general purpose work. As such, the complications they add to the runtime aren't worth it for the rare occasions when they are beneficial. Especially on modern hardware with big caches and pipelines. For genomic purposes (with its often very small alphabet), it is quite trivial to setup a specialist indexing mechanism that shows far greater benefits. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
