[fpc-pascal] Partial text search in a dictionary

[duilio foschi]

a pointer is - after all - just an integer.

See
http://delphi.cjcsoft.net/viewthread.php?tid=44049

Instead of TStringLIst use a SQLite (open source) in-memory table to
store your data.

The table can be indexed and searched using function Locate with
option loPartialKey.

Just my 2c
