Hi Michael, This is kind of vague request:) MySQL will just store data, the efficiency of searching is mostly depend on how good the database design is, and how good your search program is. However, MySQL offers a unique feature called "fulltext searching capability" which will make your life so much easier if you are to write a search script using MySQL backend. See: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html
Here are some articles on the issue: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/01_39/b3750038.htm http://www.boxesandarrows.com/archives/002869.php http://phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3 Hope this helps...
