Not necessarily true. My latest web app searches on key stroke events so 
you could have the same problem if problem the problem was not foreseen. 
However, if you page your recordset and display, then you'd always be 
retrieving only N records at any point. Throw in some intelligence in 
your javascript, some caching on the server end (admittedly easier said 
than done), compression/decompression and you've eliminated a chunk of 
the problem.

I think it boils down to having good use-cases and aggresively testing 
the app.
