incremental search (A type of search that looks for a string in an automatic and progressive way. As the user types a string, possible matches are found, thus enabling the user to stop typing the complete string as soon as the right match is found); sequential search (A simple, though inefficient, search algorithm that operates by sequentially examining each element in a list until the target element is found or the last item has been completely processed. Linear searches are primarily used for very short lists) |
