Abstract: A central text matching component receives the text data and metadata from data collection components. A database of the text data and text metadata is maintained by the central text matching component. A sending component sends text entered by the user in a text-entry field of an application and any text metadata associated with the entered text to the central text matching component. A comparison component 230 compares the entered text and associated text metadata to text data and text metadata in the database and locates text strings matching the text data and metadata. A weighted ordering component 240 ranks the matching text strings using the text metadata and its configuration settings. A completion component completes the entered text at the text-entry field based on a selection of one of the located matching text strings. An updating component updates text metadata of the matching text string in the database to reflect the selection and a further updating component updates the configuration settings of the weighted ordering component based on the updated text metadata.
