Computerized systems and methods facilitate searches by identifying instances in which search input is an ambiguous query and resolving the ambiguous query. The search system identifies ambiguous queries by querying a common data store prior to querying a patient database. More particularly, when the search system receives search input entered into a search tool, the search system queries the common name data store before querying the patient database to determine if the search input matches a common name and is an ambiguous query. If so, the search system may provide a notification to the user to indicate the search input is an ambiguous query with a common name and prompt the user to enter additional search criteria. In some instances, the search system may prevent a search from being performed on the patient database if the search input matches a common name until additional search criteria is entered.
