PruningRadixTrie – Faster Radix trie for prefix search and auto-complete
Summary: PruningRadixTrie is a novel data structure that is 1000x faster than a traditional Radix trie for prefix search and auto-complete. It allows pruning of the Radix trie and early termination of the lookup, making it perfect for auto-completion or query completion in large dictionaries. The acceleration is achieved by storing the maximum rank of all children in each node, enabling heavy pruning and early termination for non-promising branches with low child ranks.
