Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for comparing character strings, the method comprising: identifying a first character string having a first string length, and a second character string having a second string length greater than the first string length; parsing the first character string into one or more first sub-groups of characters; parsing the second character string into one or more second sub-groups of characters; comparing each of the one or more first sub-groups of characters against the one or more second sub-groups of characters; determining a ratio of a number of characters in the one or more first sub-groups of characters that match the one or more second sub-groups of characters and the second string length; based on the ratio being less than a threshold, that comprises a variable value based on the first string length: based on either of the first or second ratios being greater or equal to the threshold, preparing at least one of the first or second character strings for display.
