Problem: Find some information which exists somewhere in
a field, where the field is part of a larger structure.
You want to search against the contents one field, to the possible
exclusion of other fields, i.e. find people with the name Smith but
exclude towns and companies named Smith.
- Data often comes from external, non-word processing sources, e.g. Access,
FoxPro, Excel, etc.
- Data is structured by fields with names, lengths and data types.
Use a data base engine like MiniSQL.
In some cases, you don't need to write a CGI routine.
