A flat file database that has been around a long time is Berkeley
database. You can select between a C\C++ or Java driven database. For
years it was the product of Sleepycat but Big Brother owns it now at Oracle.
http://www.oracle.com/database/berkeley-db/index.html
Another one that that is newer is a C based DB called SQLite.
http://pecl.php.net/package/SQLite
You will not have any problems searching these database because they
support SQL.
