65 Small needles up to size 3 use a dedicated linear search. Longer needles
66 up to size 256 use a novel modified Horspool algorithm. It hashes pairs
67 of characters to quickly skip past mismatches. The main search loop only
68 exits if the last 2 characters match, avoiding unnecessary calls to memcmp
69 and allowing for a larger skip if there is no match. A self-adapting
70 filtering check is used to quickly detect mismatches in long needles.
71 By limiting the needle length to 256, the shift table can be reduced to 8
72 bits per entry, lowering preprocessing overhead and minimizing cache effects.
73 The limit also implies worst-case performance is linear.
