Your description sounds like a sort of advanced search, and yes, you can achieve this type of things with eZ Find, very easily. While your description is short for a whole project, you may want to give us some more insight so that we can elaborate!
Cheers and talk soon,

thanks for your fast reply. I just wanted to outline the main technical aspects of the project to keep the answer simple.
I'm planning to have a database where i add some project data (entries of tours). Therefore I need some additional tables that include the linked data such as the hotels/ the type of tour/ the countrys...
Thats kind of the backend of the project. In the frontend i would like to have this advanced search. In this search there are some fields to choose like the country/type of tour. I think this type of search does only include some fields and options of the database and should not be something like a free search. The german site "reise.de" is one example of such kind of search form. I hope this additional information can help you to rate the practicability in combination with eZ.

Hi Moritz,
If i understand correctly it is all about integrating third-party data. Given the need for a proper search on the latter, one working recipe can be the following :
Integrate your external data in the content engine through a custom datatype ( mind the volume though, if you have 2.5M rows of external data, rethink this :) ). This helps sticking to eZ standards, allows for native usage of the presentation layers and modules, usually a development speed boost.
