A system and method of extracting information from a lexicon and using the information with a computer software program. Lexicon data is arranged for a particular language using Unicode values or other uniquely defined code values for each character of word of the language. A location array is then created for the lexicon data arranged by Unicode value or other uniquely defined code value. Upon a request to search for a word, words that have the same initial character as the searched-for word are identified using the location array. The identified words are then searched for an identified word that matches the searched-for word. Therefore, the amount of data loaded into run-time memory is minimized, and searches for a given word are completely more quickly than in conventional systems.
