What is the best search implementation

[Mako1985]

Hello,

I am developing a VB.NET website and I want it to have a fast search functionality.

I was wondering what the best search implementation is.
In effect how do I achieve:
-fastest most efficient search algorithm
-minimal page flicker when you change order by fields etc: eg. ajax

Do you have any examples?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I know this is the sort of thing that can always be done better

Cheers,

-Mark

Can you please provide a little more detail in regards to your search? Is the user specifying the location to perform the search? Do you have a predefined location for the search?

Thx
