When you talk about searching, are you talking about searching in an ordered way (e.g. all the records in alphabetical order) or are you matching on content using something like LIKE '%fred%' ? For the LIKE matching, no INDEX is used. If you have just one column in the field, and don't need it indexed, do you really need SQL at all ? Could you not just store the data as a text file ?
