matching algorithms

["Ayman I. Madbouly" <amadbouly () yahoo com>]

Dear, all
can you help me answering the following questions:
1. which string matching algorithm currently used in current snort versions?
2. where I can find the code of these algorithms?
3. if I developed a new algorithm , can I replace the current one with my algorithm to check and compare both? what 
files I must change?
