You have to look at the rows it returns and see how many of them there are. If there's only one, that's your hit. If there are more than one, see how many characters you can move along the row before they start to be different. For instance suppose I have Jones, Jenny Smith, John Smith, James Zbignew, Andrew Immediately they type 's', by looking at the two rows returned you can move all the way along to the 'j' before the strings are different. The only efficient way to do it is programming.
