Hi Roberto,
Considering the number of members you are describing I would suggest
using an Xtra like TextCruncher from UpdateStage. TextCruncher does
lightning-fast searchs of text. You can use it in a Director projector
or in a Shockwave movie to perform a real-time fulltext search or even
create indices for an indexed search of very large amounts of text.
The latter seems particularly appropriate in your case. Here is a link
to an article in the UpdateStage archives that should help get you on
your way:

There is even a drag and drop behavior in the current demo that does
the indexing and runtime search for you!
The current version of the TextCruncher Xtra is a commercial product
available
for sale through www.updateStage.com. It is $129, is on Mac and
Windows,
supports Director 6-8 and is Shockwave safe.
For more information, download a trial version or to order
TextCruncher go

Then select TextCruncher from the menu on the left.
