What are the available string matching alg开发者_如何学运维orithms besides Knuth-Morris-Pratt, Rabin-Karp and likes of it?

A well cited compendium of these algorithms can be found in:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.133.4896&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Included are the following algorithms:

Karp-Rabin 
Shift Or 
Morris-Pratt 
Knuth-Morris-Pratt
Simon 
Colussi 
Galil-Giancarlo 
Apostolico-Crochemore
Not So Naive 
Forward Dawg Matching  
Boyer-Moore 
Turbo-BM 
Apostolico-Giancarlo 
Reverse Colussi 
Horspool 
Quick Search 
Tuned Boyer-Moore
Zhu-Takaoka 
Berry-Ravindran 
Smith 
Raita 
Reverse Factor 
Turbo Reverse Factor 
Backward Oracle Matching 

plus about 15 others.

BTW, you might want to clarify if you are also interested in string similarity algorithms (e.g., Levenshtein distance, etc), which are closely related, if you are indeed interested in that.

This page has good brief descriptions of many algorithms: http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~lecroq/string/index.html

Simone Faro and Thierry Lecroq provide a C implementation and references to 86 exact string matching algorithms on "String Matching Algorithms Research Tool" .

They also provide a framework to benchmark the string matching algorithms:
