Sounds as if you need a database if you want multiple keyword searches and 
you have a lot of data. Make your computer the server and install MySQL 
http://www.mysql.com or PostgreSQL http://www.postgresql.org/. I use XHTML 
for web pages and do test locally on my own Apache server with MySQL 
installed, no CGI though.
