1. A method for searching a computer database, the method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, a search inquiry comprising a set of data containing at least a first character; determining, by one or more processors, that the first character in the received set of data is a member of a group of characters that are grouped based upon a predetermined equivalency; creating, by one or more processors, a converted set of data for the search inquiry by converting the first character in the received set of data into a second character, wherein the second character is a single character that is a representation equivalent to any one character of the group of characters including the first character and one or more additional characters; searching, by one or more processors, the computer database for a previously stored data entry using the converted set of data wherein: the previously stored data entry includes a data entry source character form and a converted form; the converted form of the previously stored data entry includes the second character; and the search comprises matching the converted set of data with the converted form of the previously stored data entry; and returning, by one or more processors, a retrieved result of the searching, wherein the retrieved result comprises the data entry source character form of the previously stored data entry.
