In this paper, we show shortcomings of separate chaining scheme by way of experiments with NAND flash memory and improve the performance with merge chaining scheme which is proposed in this paper. We explain this merge chaining scheme and explain how to improve the performance of search operation. Merge chaining scheme shows better performance at insert and search operation compare to separate chaining scheme.

The rapid development of various applications in networking system, business, medical, education, and other domains that use basic data access operations such as insert, edit, delete and search makes data structure venerable and crucial in providing an efficient method for day to day operations of those numerous applications. One of the major problems of those applications is achieving constant time to search a key from a collection. A number of different methods which attempt to achieve that have been discovered by researchers over the years with different performance behaviors. This work evaluated these methods, and found out that almost all the existing methods have non-constant time for adding and searching a key. In this work, we designed a multi-indexes hashing algorithm that handles a collision in a hash table T efficiently and achieved constant time O(1) for searching and adding a key. Our method employed two-level of hashing which uses pattern extraction h₁(key) and h₂(key). The second hash function h₂(key) is use for handling collision in T. Here, we eliminated the wasted slots in the search space T which is another problem associated with the existing methods.
