Abstract
A method and system a method for compressing and searching a plurality of strings. The method includes inputting a plurality of strings into a compression engine. The method also includes converting each of the plurality of strings into a new, prefix-preserving compressed string, using the compression engine. For every string P that is a strict prefix of a string S, P's resulting compressed string is a strict prefix of S's resulting compressed string.
