Abstract

A computer-implemented method, carried out by one or more processors, for consolidating an index entry of a dictionary. In an embodiment, the method comprises the steps of receiving, by one or more processors, a set of parameters, wherein the set of parameters indicates at least a length of prefix and a length of hash value; receiving, by one or more processors, a first term for entry into an index; converting, by one or more processors, the first term for entry into the index according to the set of parameters; and responsive to determining the converted first term is not present in the index, storing, by one or more processors, the first converted term into the index.
