New data were obtained for response times against an array of different sized index files. A simple linear regression model was used to obtain the limitation of file size for the search tool. Response times for repeated searches were obtained for the client side search model and selected server side search tools.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was found that the search model could be used only for a small\u2010sized data set.

Therefore, organizations that wish to make their small data collections searchable on the web can use the model. The model is especially suitable for users with slow internet connections who experience very low efficiency in searching large server side databases.
