It's a port from the wonderful python project , for internals of the algorithm look there.

This algorithm allows you to extract or replace several keywords at ones. If you deal with 300 keywords, which have 5 variants each a regex approach is slower than the flashtext approach. For 1000 keyword with 5 variants each the regex can't be build.

In PHP 5.6 using regex is really slow. In newer verions it performs better.
