Good evening. I'm Alex from FL, currently at the solidarity farm (granja solidaria) in Argentina.
I'm creating a simple Bible app, to give out freely, to lots of people who help us visit the children, in the poorest villages here in South America.
Unfortunately I have not found a real programmer to do it for us. Who, me? .. very limited knowledge of html/css/js. However, I was able to put together pretty much everything I want. Basically, 1. Browse the Bible with a menu, and 2. Search the Bible on keyup. That's it!
I've learned a bit of datatables and then... That's right! It takes kinda' long to load the whole Bible text... but even worse, the keyup searches are just not good at all. It takes for ever to filter.
Y'all are already laughing at me, I know 
If I'm in the wrong place, please guide me in the right direction. What have I tried? I tried using different data sources, although I suspect server side processing will make everything faster, however, I just don't know enough to connect to a db (I tried very hard with php/mysql), plus, as crazy as it sounds, a lot of people down here don't have access to internet. Feel free to say something. Thanks

The bible, or any other book, is not suitable for display as tabular data, so it would not be suitable to be used with DataTables.
I would suggest posting a on on Elance, ODesk or similar if you need someone to build such an app. Going to close this thread as this isn't a jobs board.
