Hey Gonzalo, Couple of ideas for you... 1st - I have no idea if this is viable, but it seems to me that the cake cache might be a good way to index and search your content. I would start by looking at the API. You would probably want to upgrade to 1.2 if you go this route.
2nd - Instead of wget, why not user requestAction method?
