Is there an Info Pod script out there? Where I can add lots of information which is then searchable by the user... a searchable information database if you like.
For example...
Lets say I wanna list 25 objects I own. I'd then have some form of "Info Pod" which the user can touch. The Info Pod brings up a keyword search. User enters in keyword, it locates and pops up the object page that matches the search complete with customised notebook style text for that page.
Following?

Perhaps you should look here or here. Databases in LSL aren't pretty, and the "notebook text" you speak of sounds something like xyText, something which produces hideous amounts of lag. LSL was originally meant for little things like doors, not complex things like databases.

As I reread your query, I wonder if you really want a database. Sounds more like search engine of static data with the application giving you choices that match your query from which you then you pick the one you want. If I follow correctly, I think it can be entirely done with notecards and kept in-world, as long as you are ok with updates to the notecards being done manually. Look in the Wiki at commands: http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llGetNotecardLinehttp://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llListFindListIf you need it to update with user input, the script will need to talk to first life systems hosted externally with some host-side programming. http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=XMLRPCIf your search for an existing device that meets your needs yields no results, let me know and perhaps we can collaborate on a new product.
