I am looking at creating a webservice that searches my content and returns xml (to be displayed on a page) sat down to start and realised i have no idea where the content is actually stored. is it in the db? is it in xml? how can i access it from my webservice?
I Am looking to create an AJAX search that calls a webservice and updates the page "smoothly" is there a better way of doing this than i described above?
Hywel I recommend you that use /base with JavaScript or jQuery for your AJAX calls to run some custom .NET code to do what you want and then for /base to return the data back to your jQuery script as you want for you to then load in the data and animate the page or whatever.
This all seems to make sense, and has slved the origonal query. However i am extending what i am trying to do. I would like to be able to get a user to enter threads/messages and for these to be dynamically turned in to pages. Does this sound possible?
Where are the content pages stored?

Have a look at the data/umbraco.config file (it's just a standard XML file).
This file has the XML with all the site data and this is where the Umbraco front end reads it's data from.
What you want to do is work with the Umbraco API. Check here for some instructions. http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/api-cheatsheet
Thanks for the help
