Hi all

[transparent]

I'm writing a little search engine.

I have a collection of names (an arraylist) which I want to compare with user input.

So, for example my list may contain:

Sarah
Susie
Rick
Rob
Frank
Ted

So a user types in a name, and the system compares the user input with the list. So if the user types in Ric or Rik or Rick, I want it to find Rick

This will not be sql based, but .net code based.

Are there any general methodologies that I should be looking into?
