Yes. I'm not condoning it, but I have a client with around 25,000 records 
in a products file - the source text weighs in at around 4MB - using the 
default db (GBDM). He can get just about any results list (1 item or 100's) 
in about 2 seconds - it is just a matter of indexing and using coordinated 
search terms or the fast binary search methods.
