I've writen a search engine for mirc using filter from a bunch of db's but the prob is I have over 2tb of space to search
locks up mirc and takes ages
does any1 know of any dlls or some cmds what would be faster?

You have two terabytes of data? You probably meant gigabytes, try putting it in a mysql database and using mysql.dll.

I did mean terabytes

at the moment using filter cmd it talkes too long
I'll give the mysql.dll a shot cheers
