<p>A method and apparatus for searching a name from a personal information database. At least a first letter of a family name, a predetermined character and at least a first letter of a first name are input in sequence. A search string is updated each time when a new letter is input. The letters before the predetermined character are compared with the family names in the database, and the letters after the predetermined character, with the first names in the database. With this search method, the efficiency of inputting is increased, but searching accuracy is not degraded.</p> |
