It also depends on what your scale of collections are. If you are going to hit the ceiling of 250,000 objects sooner than you think, then you might be better off looking at Lucene or using a Google search appliance, depending on the money you have to throw at this. We currently use Lucene in conjunction with CFMX and it is an absolute joy. If I had enough time, I would write an entire process of how to do this, since it can get really irritiating for someone trying to do it. By the way, I am not using it to index web pages, I am using it to index databases.
