What kind of search are you talking about? How complex? Simple keyword searches can be done in JavaScript pretty easily - it's just a hash table. JavaScript at that level usually can be used in Flash directly. JavaScript/ActionScript is pretty damn capable. You might want to take a look at this: http://www.javascriptdatabase.com/ I've never used it, but it seems like it might be helpful for what you want to do. There's an Access convertor - seems like you might be able to design your database in Access, convert it to this and plop the whole mess on a CD to run in a browser.
