I wrote an application 15 years ago that would select a few records from a
million record file without a key with sub second response. It is all in how
you program it. This was an inventory file and the sales people had to be
able to select all "valves" out of the million record inventory, while the
customer was placing an order.
Descriptions could vary like
Valve, 1/4 in
1/4 in valve
1/4 in brass valve
Etc.

It may be ghosts and goblins on my part from the very distant past to when

million records would make a 3x box quiver and blood would be oozing out
from the base of the processor.

We had an online customer history inquiry program that referred to
multi-million-record invoice files and had subsecond response time on
the earliest S/38. Logical files, SETLL, READ.
