Hi Manoj,
   Please send your question to the users list, not the dev list.

   I believe the dictionaryNameFinder is passed a dictionary of names =
and if a name appears in the dictionary, it is marked as found.  =
Otherwise, no name is found.  It is not a statistical model.  The two =
methods you describe are similar (but I won=E2=80=99t promise they are =
exactly the same).  I would use the DictionaryNameFinder, because I =
trust that it is implemented well, but if your code is faster and you =
trust it go with it.

Daniel
