[TEXTSEARCH]: Fix broken good shift array calculation in Boyer-Moore
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The current logic does not calculate correctly the good shift array:
Let x be the pattern that is being searched. Let y be the block of data. 
The good shift array aligns the segment:

x[i+1 ... m-1] = y[i+j+1 ... j+m-1]

with its rightmost occurrence in x that fulfils x[i] neq y[i+j].

In previous version, the good shift array for the pattern ANPANMAN is:
[1, 8, 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8]
and should be:
[1, 8, 3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6]
