Abstract

It is known that about (Formula presented) comparisons are needed, in the worst case, to find all the occurrences of the string aba in a text of length n if only pattern-text comparisons are allowed. We show that if text-text comparisons can be used then only about (Formula presented) comparisons are required. This gives the first example in which text-text comparisons provably help.
