Abstract: Name matching using enhanced name keys is provided by receiving and parsing a queried name into name phrase(s), building a name key for the queried name, the name key for identifying matches between the queried name and candidate names in a database, and the name key including name phrase digraph bitmap signature(s) for the queried name, variant code(s) for the queried name, and pseudo-phonetic name phrase digraph bitmap signature(s) for the queried name, and performing a name matching comparison that includes comparing the queried name to each candidate name of the candidate names in the database, in which the built name key for the queried name is compared to a name key for the candidate name.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for name searching in mixed-entity lists is provided which comprises dividing a mixed list of entities into a plurality of entity-specific lists. A name to be searched is then categorized into a category and a specialized search logic is applied to the name to be searched. The specialized search logic is selected to be adapted to the category and uses a one of the entity-specific lists that corresponds to the category of the name to be searched. A shared search logic may also be employed, which is used for all names to be searched.

Abstract: A method and system for differentiating types of data stored in a data collection. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a search request on a first type of data stored in the data collection; automatically differentiating data of the first type stored in the data collection from data of other types stored in the data collection; and completing the search request using data determined to be of the first type. Automatically differentiating data of the first type includes determining a type of each data entry in the data collection based only on tokens associated with the data entry.
