Talking with a friend about what he will do (he use C only) he suggest to take a look on dBase format file since it is a stable

True enough and Dabo is worth a look since it provides not only a dbase format db engine but a good GUI builder tool too.

However....

(Berkley) database file format (I hope I understood this one correctly) . Plain files it is not an option since I would like to have option to do rapid searches.

Why not use SQL?
SQLlite comes with Python, is small, easy to use and if necessary can be used in-memory and as such fast. Once you have decided to go down the database route then not using SQL nowadays is a very odd decision. Its rather liike going out looking for a car that has solid types instead of pneumatics. Why would you want to?
