I do believe sudheer's requirement would call for the searching to be done on the server side. Personally i don't use XML when searching is involved. If you use a DOM based solution all your servers memory just gets sucked up. If you use plain old sax you have to do a lot of coding yourself (though you can get the result much faster). But i do think it's just about the best thing when it comes to sequential reading of records.
