Depends what you mean by hardware. I'm pretty sure some special-purpose
machines (Lisp and Prolog machines come to mind) had string searching in
microcode. Some VLSI designs for string-searching hardware come up if
you do a Google search (!) but I doubt if any have actually been
exploited commercially.
