I you're trying to search for shared prefixes, you might want to store
your data in a data structure better suited for such tasks, such as a
Trie <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie>. Tries are fast and compact.
Implementing a Trie isn't very difficult and, since it's such a
commonly used data structure for string-related tasks, you'll be able
to find good implementations on the web.
