Thank You -- Q&AEditors

i can't figure out how to send querry information to a flat file database using a link. I wanna have a link to click on and it searches that database for that specific link. For instance if i have a link http://www.parkerassociates.net/auto/newcar.html i want to search all links in the database that match "new cars" Thanks
