What is an efficient algorithm for regex **search** all occurrences (starting indexes) of a pattern in a long string?↵

Say I only have* in this questionspecial character * in this question, which matches zero or any numbers of the preceeding characters: https://leetcode.com/problems/regular-expression-matching/↵
↵
↵
a* search in aaa returns [0, 1, 2]↵
↵
a*b search in abb [0]↵
↵
↵
↵
Here a* and a*b are patterns and aaa and abb are text strings to search within and text strings could be very long.↵
↵
↵
Borrowing https://leetcode.com/problems/regular-expression-matching/ I can only come up with a solution with O(N * N * M)↵
