In this approach, we avoid backtracking by constructing a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) that recognizes strings containing the desired search string.
A Turing Machine can be represented as a deterministic finite automaton. For example, below is an NFA representation of a Turing Machine that accepts the regular expression 'aba*'.
