Hi,
I am designing a web site search facility. The idea is that a html file displays a form with a text box that takes a search string from a client, the search string is then parsed to some server side code which looks in a data file(containing appropriate search strings) for a match and returns a URL back to the html on the client side.

Please can anyone recommend a really good language to write a file handling string search in, a language that is NOT platform dependant, a language that is FAST.
