System and method for persistent query information retrieval

A method for persistent query information retrieval comprising the steps of:

• receiving parameter data representative of string-based search query, inclusive of a trailing wildcard character, the search parameter defining a subset of a plurality of entries in an associated database and wherein the string includes characters from an associated character set;
• testing a set of returned entries associated with each search parameter relative to an existence of remaining entries;
• generating a plurality of alternative search parameters corresponding to each search parameter determined by the testing step to have remaining entries by automatically and sequentially applying each of a set of text characters from the character set in a position of the trailing wildcard character while shifting the wildcard character one position to the right in the string-based search query;
• generating, from the parameter data, query data comprised of a series of complementary queries structured to aggregate so as to correspond to all possible entries associated with the parameter data;
• communicating the query data to an associated search engine coupled to query the associated database;
• receiving, from the associated search engine, result data comprised of a series of responses corresponding to each of the series of complementary queries;
• and
• communicating the result data to an associated user in accordance with received result data.
