in reply to REGEX or Not to REGEX for many items

If you do not want to go with a fullblown search engine, you might want to have a look at Regex::PreSuf. It will let you combine your list of phrases into one fairly efficient regexp. Not sure how will the module and then Perl handle thousands of phrases, though.
