Searching and sorting used as a subroutine in many important algorithms.Quantum algorithm can find a target item in a database faster than anyclassical algorithm. One can trade accuracy for speed and find a part of thedatabase (a block) containing the target item even faster, this is partialsearch. An example is the following: exact address of the target item is givenby a sequence of many bits, but we need to know only some of them. Moregenerally partial search considers the following problem: a database isseparated into several blocks. We want to find a block with the target item,not the target item itself. In this paper we reformulate quantum partial searchalgorithm in terms of group theory.Comment: 12 page
