title: What kind of database for a small WPF app that offers search speed and deployment ease?
body: <p>I have a database of approximately 8,000 records. Each record has 1 text field (300 chars max) and about 20 numeric fields.</p>
  
  <p>Operations on this database are mostly read-only: search and sort. No updating.</p>
  
  <p>For my <strong>WPF app</strong>, 
  I like XML because it is simple to deploy but the text search is somewhat slow because I do a search on every keystroke entered on the search textbox. My current considerations are: XML, Microsoft Access, SQLCE.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What (other) database technologies should I consider and what would you choose for speed and ease of deployment?</strong> Thanks.</p>
