Zvon reference search is implemented on top of XSLT engine (SAXON) and
it contains all elements, functions, attributes, ... and relevant links
of:

CSS1, CSS2, DOM1, DOM2, MathML, SVG, VoiceXML, XHTML, XLink, XML Schema,
XPointer, XSL FO, XSLT

so it has quite a few entries:

If you try:

http://zvon.org:9001/saxon/cgi-bin/Search/Output/base.html?stylesheetFile=search.xsl

Search string:  yle   
and: Substring search option selected

you can see for yourself that XSLT based search does not have to be
painfully slow.

It is true that it will not scale up to well, but I guess that databases
with a few thousands or tens of thousands entries are quite common.
