sequential search

A search for data that compares each item in a list or each record in a file, one after the other. Contrast with direct search and indexed search.

sequential search [si′kwen·chəl ′sərch]

(computer science)

A procedure for searching a table that consists of starting at some table position (usually the beginning) and comparing the file-record key in hand with each table-record key, one at a time, until either a match is found or all sequential positions have been searched.
