For this use case there is a class Strigi::KmpSearcher. This calls allows you so \
search fast and within a limited range. The search object can be static constant \
member of the particular analyzer, e.g. Strigi::KmpSearcher searcher;
that is initialized with the case sensitive text fragment.
Then the function call searcher.search(header, headerlength) can be used to find the \
result.
Examples can be found in libstreamanalyzer/lib/pdf/pdftest.cpp and \
libstreams/lib/stringterminatedsubstream.cpp.
