Question Searching XML documents

Is it better to use XML files in place of a database if the files will need to be heavily searched and often? Or should I stick with access databases. If I did use XML I would need it to return with each find of my query its location within the files like the tag or attribute it appears in so that I can reference to it. And if you can do this with XML can I use the MSXMLDOM or do I need some other parser? Thanks

A database will almost always be faster than searching a file yourself.

I'm not sure how well access performs, though. I think it's rather bad (compared to other DBMSs). You might want to look into using something a little more powerful.
