Array pointers to Multi-Dimensional Arrays

How would I make an array of pointers to point to two-dimensional arrays? (either an array of ints or chars, Im not sure which one I use yet)

Also by doing this would I be able to use a search function to search the multidimensional arrays, and would I then have the paramater, the array with the pointers to arrays?

Thanks

Some further help

If I created the typdef would all of the arrays then have to be of the same size?

//Edit: Since my arrays will be off different sizes will it still be possible for an array of pointers to point to different arrays?

//Edit 2:

Is this allowable?

typedef int myarray;

myarray a[2][5];
myarrya b[3][5];

myarray *ptr[20];

I would like to know what you are trying to accomplish. Your problem might be better solved using a binary tree or list.
