Default Am I missing something here?
Posted By: Keith O'Leary

Dennis, many search programs don't go after a huge database to find information. They utilize what are called index files to find desired items quickly. These files are keyed (or sorted) by things such as sellerID. These files are not updated "real time" but maybe every couple of hours, sometimes days.
