Here is a situation. I hav an collection of employee records which may scale up to thousands in a binary file. I would like to implement a search alogorithm that would search an employee quickly, with multiple criteria , say, EmpID, EmpName,EmpJoinDate, salary....

Also I would like to know how indexing can be applied to the fields mentioned above ...???

Can somebody suggest an algorithm that would do the same...??


plz help me .....


thanx in advance...:-)
