Default How do I create a searchable profile database?

I've launched a baseball website, and I want to add a searchable player database similar to those found on other sites. Essentially, each player has a profile page with their biographical information and statistics, and users of my site should be able to search (in a search box) for whichever player they want and that player's profile comes up.

I use Wordpress to manage my site, so I'm looking for any suggestions that work within their software. I've considered plugins, but nothing I have found gives me the flexibility I'm looking for, and I've also considered just publishing pages for every player, but I'm wondering if this is really this most efficient method.

Looking for suggestions, and thanks in advance for any help.

Easiest way, or the hardest way - depending on how much you know about php and mysql.

I think the most efficient way is to set up your own database with the player attributes. Making search engines is rather simple when you have the database you want to preform the search in.
