How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T23507773 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Generalized Search Tree
Generalized Search Tree is a flexible, balanced tree data structure framework that supports building custom index types for complex data and queries, often used in database systems.
-
B.
Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm
The Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm is a highly efficient pattern-matching algorithm that scans text from right to left and uses precomputed shift rules to skip sections of the text, making it one of the fastest practical algorithms for substring search.
-
C.
Thompson's algorithm
Thompson's algorithm is a classic computer science method for converting regular expressions into nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs), widely used in pattern matching and lexical analysis.
-
D.
Davis–Putnam algorithm
The Davis–Putnam algorithm is a pioneering procedure in automated theorem proving and propositional logic satisfiability that laid foundational groundwork for modern SAT solvers.
