Not that I know of - the method that I use for this is to have the database sorted by the field that I wish to search on - then you can perform a binary search to get at the information you want - it works extremely fast. If you wish you can build up your own indexes so that you can search on different fields - or buy yourself one of the DBMS's for the palm like DB2 or Ultralite.
