A method provides computerized searching of a data set. A method determines the location of an item in a contiguous data set including a plurality of items, the data set is stored in a computer system, and the method assigns a numeric value to each of the plural items in the data set. A least squares polynomial may be created for the data set using ordered pairs of (x, y), wherein x is the assigned numeric value of the item the data set and y is the location of the item in the data set. A command is received to search for the location of a target item in the data set, and a calculated target item location in the data set is generated using a target item assigned numeric value and the least squares polynomial. |
