Abstract
A system for querying web pages to validate entity names is disclosed. The disclosed system receives a request for validating an entity name. The system identifies a search web link based on the information in the request. The system converts the request to a format appropriate for a search web page corresponding to the search web link. Then, the system sends the formatted request to the search web page via the search web link. The system receives a result web page and extracts a set of result entity names. The system then computes a hash value for the entity name in the request and each of the result entity names. Next, the system compares the hash value computed for the entity name in the request with hash values computed for each of the result entity names and determines a matching score for each of the result entity names based on the comparison of the hash values.
