This is the final part of my series on instant searching and filtering using C#. The only further issue that I wanted to cover was efficiently using a ListView when the items will change so often.
ListViews already have the concept of a virtual mode, where the consumer of the class must supply the items that [...]

This is part three of my series on fast searching and filtering of text using C#.
The previous article developed an indexing method using a hash table. This article develops a method using a trie structure. If you don’t know tries, I highly encourage to go read about them before continuing.
This filtering method is much more [...]

This is part two of my series on fast searching/filtering of text using C#.
In the previous article, we developed the filtering interface, built up a testing framework and implemented a naive indexer. For many purposes, that indexer performs more than adequately. Still, there are other possible implementations that might work better (or not…let’s wait and [...]

Even though I recently wrote about just using naive algorithms when they’re sufficient, it helps to know about other options and their characteristics. With that mind, I’m beginning a little series (4 parts planned–I’ll update this list as I go along) in C# documenting how I developed a few different approaches to doing fast (instant) [...]

I just had a nice reality check. Sort of pleasant in that I realized I could save a LOT of memory usage (like from 35MB down to 9 MB), but also aggravating because I have spent probably 10-20 hours developing a clever algorithm designed for speed.
Lesson learned. I should have built the naive version first. [...]

(See also part 2 of this article).
A few months ago I received an e-mail from a recruiter at Google asking for an opportunity to talk to me about available development positions. Needless to say, I was pretty excited. I’m fairly happy in my current job, but–it’s GOOGLE. You don’t say no to an interview opportunity [...]
