texte = Im a newbie to WebCatalog and this list, so excuse me if Im asking the obvious...But my question is: How does WebCatalog search its data? As it uses a flat file databases one should expect it to do a search through the entire file before returning the matching data. This is, as I understand it, not a good way if the database contains _many_ records. So my questin is: does WebCatalog index the data when it loads a database into memory? If not, hos does WebCatalog perform when it comes to BIG databases?Hope someone can answer me on this :)Per Christian Lied, pk@pluto.wit.no
