Abstract
The invention is directed to selecting the latest contact information for a searched party, e.g., an individual, based on the searched party's known, old contact information contained in an old record. A number of searches are conducted based on variations of criteria derived from the old record information. After receiving the search results corresponding to all criteria variations, they are analyzed in accordance with the invention. Each criteria variation may be preassigned a confidence measure reflecting how likely the search results contain the derived, latest contact in formation. The actual value of one such confidence measure may be determined based on past experience or there statistical measures. The analysis is based, among other things, on the confidence measure and on the number of search results returned for a particular criteria variations. Depending on the search requirements of a requesting party, one or more search results containing the latest contact information for the searched party and their associated confidence measures may be returned.
