Hello all,

I am looking to use javascript to create an autosuggest input box. However, my database that it would search through is 4,000,000 entries big. Is this too large? what is the limit abouts to keep it from running to slow and still being efficient.

Thank you very much
-Josh

I think that 4,000,000 pales into insignificance compared to the Google version :)
Seriously more important to consider are the number of records returned each time and how often you're querying, the Pro Ajax book example has a built-in delay to stop too many requests.
Which database you are using as well as the server spec will obviously matter too.
