I need to design a search engine for business listings. I basically need 3 pages: search engine, result display and listing display page. Now should I create a custom node for my listing display page say business listing or should I use CCK+Views. Now all my data is going to be pulled from a db. What is better?

There are two real options here:

  • Use exposed views filters to search listings
  • Use drupal's search box to search listings

If you want fine-grained control and AJAX-able lists, then you want the former. If you want a standard "google", then you want the latter.

Regardless you'll want to setup each business as a node.
