I recently got into MODX and I really love it. But I have a problem and don’t know where to start.

I have a database with adress information. What I need is the possibility to search trough only those records en return the correct records in a custom document. How can I achieve this? It is pretty simple I know, but i don’t know where to start.

Create a snippet to do the query and display the results.

If you could move those tables into the MODx database this would work http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/DB_query_and_Placeholders

Thanx, Ive been reading about the ajaxsearch, is this overkill or only for site search?
