What is Harrison hashing and what are its applications in web searching? Can some one give me some relevant information?

Update:

I found it here , and is a part of M.Tech syllabus of a friend of mine. I need to explain him this concept and then see how it can be applied in web applications. Many thanks for spending your precious time.

I can't find anything about Harrison hashing on the web – rrenaud Feb 26 at 16:10
Where did the term come up? Note that while hashing techniques are ontopic here, webapplications are not. – Raphael♦ Feb 26 at 16:56
Do you mean visual hashing ? – Vor Feb 26 at 17:10

I think you are looking for Implementation of the Substring Test by Hashing by Malcolm C. Harrison. It describes a fast implementation, which determines if one string contains a specified substring. This technique is appropriate in searching of large static text files.

Also you can find in String Searching Algorithms By Graham A. Stephen.
