what is a good module for...

what is a good module for an encyclopedia type of site, not a wiki though.

I want to build a drupal site that contains food ingredient information that is searchable. Is there a module I can adapt? (or is this functionality already built into drupal --I am new to it?). Something like the encyclopedia feature in PHP nuke.

just looking for advice, any help is appreciated.

I think you should stick with drupal core modules (+ views, cck). If you can't do it with these modules then search for a module.
Drupal works great for content managment such as an encyclopedia. If you know exactly want you to do please share.

Content Construction Kit

Content Construction Kit (CCK)... i like this. i will investigate further and start playing with this.

basically indexed articles that are sorted alphabetically or by category. not a news site or a blog, something that would display a record from a database.

thanks

views.module is a query writer for pulling information from the database for display
