Some Extra Search indexes are generated for the trademark field automatically so as to make searching a little easier and
convenient. These are squeezed indexes and additional search indexes for some special characters.
CDNameSearch Search Index Enhancements
Extra indexes have been generated for trademark entities where their forms are simply squeezed together as in these
examples illustrated below. Also an extra search index for these trademarks having special punctuation characters
contained in them has been added to CDNameSearch to enhance its searching capabilities.
Examples:
CHAMONIX
SPORTS PLUS
THE PRICE IS RIGHT
RE/MAX
I.B.M.
C PLUS

Note: The squeezed entities are only put together as such if they occur within 20 characters of the left hand side of
the mark however. They have been created only from the original trademark field.
This will provide some solutions to the badly formulated marks like CHAMONIX appearing in the one word situations.
It will also give you more hits in the one-word two-word situations as well. Prefix searches may find more of the one
word - two word situations as well. As before, searches of the form *NIX* will find the squeezed letter type marks like
C H A M O N I X regardless of where they occur in a mark.
They do slow searching down a fair bit if you have a short lookup string or you did a heavy search of the form *PRO*.
We are still refining the removal of certain junk entities like & DESIGN appearing in the marks.
