20090234852 | SUB-LINEAR APPROXIMATE STRING MATCH - Computerized search problems can be performed more quickly, efficiently and effectively by utilizing a database of potential matching items and associated similar items which are grouped, or otherwise related, by their distance, measured in change, from their respective potential matching item. An input item requiring a search for a match and, if necessary, one or more similar input items generated by making a change to the input item are compared with sub-linear effort to the database. In this manner, matches in the database within an acceptable distance, measured in change, can be quickly and effectively identified for an input item. | 09-17-2009 |
