Hello,

I have a large data to be searched. I am wondering which will be the best
way to search.
The purpose is actually like a shorthand.
When the user enter a word in a text box, I want to pull the corresponding
text for that word.
So should i put the whole thing in an XML file and search it or should i use
an .ini file, and search the ini file, or is there any other way
I can achieve the result faster.
I am using VB to code this.

Please let me know
Thanks in advance
Siva
