Methods and apparatus for parallel searching through a data stream. Using a register bank and comparators, the device performs a brute force search through a data stream to quickly find one or more patterns therein. The invention sacrifices physical space for speed by using multiple comparators on the same register bank. The output of the comparators is fed into a decoding circuit which determines the locations of matches and mismatches. Matches are compared against a database/table to determine their significance.
