Then, if case-insensitive matching is required (then: a runtime parameter!!) use a parallel matching algorithm: for each character position, match the lower-case and upper-case version for all active matches in parallel. In theory, we could double the number of active matches at each position, but this will actually not happen and the number of active matches will be bounded by the maximum number of differently capitalized prefixes of a potential full match (or set of matches if we want to find all possible matches of any length).\r\nThen, actually create several annotations for each case-variation we matched, or just one annotation based on a preference setting (e.g. first, best case match ...?)","author":{"url":"https://github.com/johann-petrak","@type":"Person","name":"johann-petrak"},"datePublished":"2018-06-18T14:58:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/7/gateplugin-StringAnnotation/issues/7"}
