In your case, you're probably better off writing a simple perl script to
match the record. HotWired's WebMonkey site, among others has nice
tutorials on lots of topics, including this one.
The problem is that a website search engine essentially considers the
entire text/file as a record. A custom script would consider the
lines as records, whether they're URLs (as someone asked recently) or
something else.
