DictionaryNameFinder

Hi,

Can someone please explain how the DictionaryNameFinder works.

What will be the difference between

   1.  DictionaryNameFinder
   2.  Maintaining custom lists in code and performing String comparisons.

Is there any computational (time/storage) advantage using one over the
other?

Please guide me.

Thanks.

Hi Manoj,
   Please send your question to the users list, not the dev list.

   I believe the dictionaryNameFinder is passed a dictionary of names and if a name appears in the dictionary, it is marked as found.  Otherwise, no name is found.  It is not a statistical model.  The two methods you describe are similar (but I won’t promise they are exactly the same).  I would use the DictionaryNameFinder, because I trust that it is implemented well, but if your code is faster and you trust it go with it.
