1. A computer implemented method for searching data, the computer implemented method comprising:

  • responsive to receiving a search query, converting each alphanumeric character of the search query comprising one or more alphanumeric characters from a set of alphanumeric characters comprising letters ranging from A-Z and numbers ranging from 0-9 into a respective corresponding phonetic variant in a one to one relationship to form an inflected search query using an alphanumeric phonetic hash that includes a mapping of the set of alphanumeric characters, into a corresponding set of phonetic variants, wherein each phonetic variant is represented as a spelled out word that corresponds to a unique character in the set of alphanumeric characters, and wherein the inflected search query is a vector space having a set of vectors wherein each vector corresponds to a respective individual alphanumeric character of the search query;

    identifying a set of inflected data fields of a vector space library satisfying the inflected search query, wherein 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, wherein an inflected data field is a vector space comprising a group of vectors;

    calculating a relevancy score for the records of the set of lightweight directory access protocol records that satisfies the inflected search query, wherein the relevancy score is calculated as a percentage of vectors of an inflected data field that are in common with the vectors of the inflected search query;

    determining whether the relevancy score meets a modifiable predetermined threshold;

    calculating search parameters as a percentage of vectors of the inflected search query that are in common with the vectors of the inflected data field; and

    responsive to the relevancy score meets the modifiable predetermined threshold, generating a search result listing records of the set of lightweight directory access protocol records satisfying the search query and conforming to the searching parameters.
