Is there anything, in RapidWeaver or third party, that will do a search and provide the result in a defined format in RapidWeaver? This is crucial to the website I’m building. For example: If I have thousands of records and need to find one, by first, last, both names, or some other criteria, display the findings in a defined format (since at this point there are probably multiple matching records), then choose one and have it displayed in a different defined format. It would be nice if I could use MySQL on my hosting site but other ways are acceptable if there is one.

Hi @Maddog

[GridIron](https://www.chillidogsoftware.com/chillidog-software-rapidweaver-stacks/grid-iron/) can provide this searching and sorting functionality. Simply provide a csv file or google spreadsheet and grid iron builds a table for your data. No database required!
