The point is still made that when doing repeated searches on a datastore, one must consider what kind of store it is. Sortedness, what data it's storing, what kind of searching facilities already exist for it ... there is never a "One Right Answer"tm for any computing question (though there are many "Less Than Perfect"tm answers).
