  • Patent number: 6295526
    Abstract: Target elements of a search query are selected by referring to elements or listings within a data structure called a memory map module. Each target element is pre-validated against data available within a database (related to the memory map module). The memory map module has an index to the data as well as relationship information between the data. The memory map module is searched to find listings related to the target elements of the search query. In one embodiment, the memory map module is searched by determining a range reference using a first table of the relationship information. A range is determined using the range reference to a second table of the relationship information. The range is used to search the index to find the listings. In another embodiment, a string space of the relationship information is searched for each instance of the target element. An offset for the instance is determined and is mapped back to a matching listing in the index.
