If a search of the records of the filing office under the debtor's correct name, using the filing office's standard search logic, if any, would disclose a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with subsection 1 of 4. section 41-09-74, the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading.
