README

          
The [billstclair/elm-id-search](http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/billstclair/elm-id-search/latest) package allows quick search for substrings of record identification strings.

You can use it to index identifying strings for any record type. For example, you could index `User` records by their userid to offer completions while typing "@foo" for a Twitter interface.

There's a live example, showing completion of lists of popular boy and girl baby names at https://billstclair.github.io/elm-id-search

An `elm repl` example:

```

$ elm repl

> import IdSearch exposing (..)

> ids = ["avh4","brianhicks","czaplic","eeue56","elmlang","lukewestby","mdgriffith","noredink","rtfeldman","terezka","zwilias"]

> table = makeTable 3 List.singleton |> insertList ids

{ dictCount = 3, dicts = [Dict ... ]

, getIdentifiers =  }

    : Table String

> lookup "c" table

["czaplic"] : List String

> lookup "li" table

["zwilias","czaplic"] : List String

> lookup "hicks" table

["brianhicks"] : List String

> lookup "hicke" table

[] : List String

```
