11. A method for generating a desired object, said method comprising: receiving a first sequence of key inputs, some of which are explicit key inputs and some of which are ambiguous key inputs and; generating, based on the first sequence of key inputs, a first set of character sequences; wherein each character of each character sequence of the first set of character sequences corresponds to either an explicit key input or an ambiguous key input in the first sequence of key inputs and is selected from the plurality of intended or potentially intended characters associated with the corresponding respective explicit key input or ambiguous key input; and searching a database, based on the first set of search character sequences, for objects to identify a first set of potential desired objects found in said database and receiving a selection of a first desired object from the first set of potential desired objects found in said database.
