Revision 73 of this benchmark created by Robert on

Description

Testing for the existence of characters in a string using Regular Expressions test, search, and match compared to indexOf.

Added case sensitivity to search

Preparation HTML

<script>
  var str = 'INLINE-block';
  var arr = ['inline', 'inline-block', 'inline-table', 'ruby','large','array','div','with','a','lot','of','content','that','may','cause','some','issues','to','be','seen','later','on','or','perhaps','none','will','be','found','at','all','we','will','certainly','see','and','such'];
  var obj = {'inline': true, 'inline-block': true, 'inline-table': true, 'ruby': true};
</script>

Setup

var precompiledRegex = /(inline|ruby)/i;
    var newRegex =  new RegExp('(inline|ruby)', 'i');
