Executes a search, given a search string

Implementation

MatchScore search(String text) {
  if (!options.isCaseSensitive) {
    text = text.toLowerCase();
  }
  if (options.shouldNormalize) {
    text = text.latinize();
  }

  // Exact match
  if (pattern == text) {
    return MatchScore(
      isMatch: true,
      score: 0,
      matchedIndices: [MatchIndex(0, text.length - 1)],
    );
  }

  // When pattern length is greater than the machine word length, just do a a regex comparison
  if (pattern.length > options.maxPatternLength) {
    return bitapRegexSearch(text, pattern, options.tokenSeparator);
  }

  // Otherwise, use Bitap algorithm
  return bitapSearch(
    text,
    pattern,
    patternAlphabet,
    location: options.location,
    distance: options.distance,
    threshold: options.threshold,
    findAllMatches: options.findAllMatches,
    minMatchCharLength: options.minMatchCharLength,
  );
