large search

[cursed]

How would i make a search that could store the search query into a list and use the server to search without the users page to lag because i want it to search 5,000,000 things, and show a page that would say finished or no completed searching query.


hopefully my explanation was clear.

Well, of course it's going to lag. You'll just need a faster server.

Vague question.

That's a lot to search through.

The options you have--
1. make your search query/operations more efficient. For example, double quotes take longer to parse than single quotes. But without seeing your code, no suggestions on this.
2. If you are doing a consistant operation on the data, then do it once and then save that into the database. This will save you from processing each time you run the search.

I want something like http://milw0rm.com/cracker/insert.php

so when you insert a query, it will process it in another page.

Say, if query is found, for example:

header("Location: mypage.htm");
