Any match we find on this path is a primary // match and any new primary match is better than the one before. A sub-match is a // matching prefix of a suffix of the text currently scanned along the path. These // sub-matches occur on paths off the one we're currently following, and they are // linked in the trie via the output links. Their offset is always greater than that // of a primary match, and sub-matches further into the 'output' chain are shorter. // Therefore we are interested only in the first such sub-match.

Finds the leftmost longest occurrence of any of the given searchStrings in the text starting at the given offset.
