asked on Create a searchable online database out of a single, huge html page
Hello, so I was tasked with creating a searchable database out of this single, humongous web page:
http://www.formatoql.it/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/rule-cards.html
This page contains a list of thousands of cards related to a card-game. The site's owner would like to convert it to a dynamic searchable database where you search for a card's name and you get a page with the card's data.
Before starting, I thought I'd ask some of you guys since online databases and search engines are fairly new to me.
So what do you think would be the best course of action to convert the page, and which kind of database would you choose? My first thought was MySQL, but maybe it would be overkill?
Thanks guys.

There is no reason you can't have an entry for multiple notes and only call those on the cards that need it, and/or make a single note section and just delaminate each multiple note as they are now, with a carriage return, paragraph or bullet.

Ok, thanks, I'll try that. I'll report back in a few days.

There are a few bumps, but your route is actually the best, so thanks and here's your points.
The problem I think I may have is with those Notes at the end of each card: some have one or more, some have none.
