Hope this is not OT. For reasons that I don't know, I'm always interested in exploring ways to search for data, especially structured data, effectively and efficiently.
Various search algothrithms exist and continue to evolve, to name a few, SLI, which seems powerful and yet it seems extremely resource-intensive as well. My view is, for non-gigantic databases, say, just a few GB, SQL alone is good enough. And I would say, a quick search utility like this one, URL, http://68.32.61.40/DataData/ddSearch.cfm would do the job (totally reusable, you may use other database/datasource), but I would appreciate input/thought(s) on scenarios that this approach is way more cost-effective than others and vice versa. I've explored hy-brid search mechnism a bit as well. Thanks.
