For a catalogue of any size you'll probably want to send only the matching entries to the Web browser/client, so you'll want to run XQuery on the server. There are maybe a dozen reasonably popular choices. I use BaseX (Java-based) on www.fromoldbooks.org; Zorba (C++) seemed to me to be somewhat harder to set up but then BaseX is particularly easy. There's also an Apache module called sedna, and a stand-alone database server called eXist; there are commercial offerings from Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, MarkLogic and many more.
