Abstract
A system and a method for generating a find list of target-entries that can be searched based on a received search-entry. The techniques used to generate and search the find list allow meaningful results to be obtained even if the search-entry contains imperfections. Target-entries are selected from the find list based on the initial characters of the search-entry. The target-entries are then compared to the search-entry using a variety of scoring heuristics. Each scoring-heuristic assigns a value based on the results of the comparison. The value proportionately indicates the closeness of the match between the target-entry and the search entry. The value obtained from each scoring-heuristic is summed to identify the score for each target-entry. The selected target-entries are then ordered based on the scores.
