Abstract
The subject application is directed to a system and method for type-ahead address lookup employing historically weighted address placement. A prompt is generated on a display for commencement of a new search operation and search data of text entries is received via a user interface. Entries are stored in an associated database, each entry having at least one searchable text field. At least a first character of a new search received via the user interface is tested against the entries relative to the searchable field. A display is generated corresponding to a subset of the entries based upon a testing output. Selection data is received corresponding to a selected entry from the displayed subset and weighting data is generated corresponding to received selection data. Displayed entries are ordered corresponding to the subset of database entries upon subsequent re-entry of the at least a first character during a subsequent search operation.
