Inefficient code of String.indexOf(String)

Hello,

I have recently started to explore the source code and am new to the open
source community. I observed that in String.class within java.lang , the
indexOf method, line 1715, uses the bruteforce approach when it comes to
string matching. This method is used by the contains(CharSequence) method.
There are a number of algorithms that can perform the task more efficiently.

I would like to bring the required changes and needed your advice on this.
