Bsearch for closest match

I've a dynamic array that I need to do bsearch with closest prefix
matched element. Does anybody has an example on how to that?
 
Eample: 
Array(1) = 'AB'
Array(2) = 'ABC' 
Array(3) = 'ABCD' 
Array(4) = 'ABCDEF'
Array(5) = 'ACCDEF'
 
if search argument is ABCE123 ==> The closest match would be elem 2.
 
thanks.
