Note that you don't need Boyer Moore for the common case. ripgrep for example will very rarely use Boyer Moore. Its work horse is much simpler and typically faster: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/master/src/literal/m...

In Go-land, you should be able to replace uses of memchr with IndexByte[1], which should be implemented in Assembly on most platforms.

Of course, for any of this to have a big impact, you'll want to take Mike Haertel's advice on avoiding line breaking and stop using bufio.Scanner. :-)

So far I've been only concerned about code's simplicity until I understand what there needs to be done. This is not going to be grep or ripgrep. My intent was to make a tool I needed so I started working on it. I thought someone else might like it, now it is joyful to see people are looking at the project.

There are a couple of places I wish I would have done better. Using bufio.Scanner actually bothers me a lot. Also in the Read() method it reads everything from all readers into a buffer instead of pulling what it needs to check.

Thanks for suggestions :)
