Vector Space Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Data Search

A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for performing a search for data. In one embodiment, the process converts each character of the search query into a phonetic variant to form an inflected search query. The process then identifies a set of inflected data fields of a vector space library satisfying the inflected search query. The set of inflected data fields are formed from a set of lightweight directory access protocol data fields of a set of lightweight directory access protocol records. Thereafter, the process generates a search result listing records of the set of records satisfying the search query.
