Abstract
A high speed search processor capable of performing a wide variety of search functions, including simple and complex searches, either within an entire text stream or within predefined fixed or sliding windows in the text stream. The processor is made up of multiple interconnected cells, each of which has a pattern register for storing part of a pattern to be searched for, a character register for storing a character of the data stream to be searched, a match register for storing a match value indicative of a match between the search pattern and the text stream, and match logic for modifying an incoming match value in accordance with conditions within the cell. The data stream and the search pattern are oppositely oriented, such that a first character of the search pattern is first encountered by a first character in the data stream, and the pattern is successively compared with an equal number of characters in the data stream as it is moved through the search pattern. The match logic includes means for detecting missing and extra characters in the data stream. The processor can therefore tolerate incorrect, missing or extra characters in the text stream, and can handle multiple levels of nesting and arbitrary boolean expressions within the search pattern. Another novel aspect of the processor is its ability to locate an enumerated subset of search terms or patterns within fixed or sliding windows.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
