Another option might be to have the auto-suggest test ONLY against article titles and return a list only of article titles, even though the search might cover body content and other things as well. Would at least reduce the overhead of the auto-suggest while at the same time returning specifically relevant options in the list.

Why not use a Nouns list (there are many publicly available) and then use that to determine keywords in the news releases. You can remove duplicates, but you could also include a rank systems for each noun found in the new article. +1 for every time the noun is in the news release and +1 if it is in the title. I think with some experimenting and tweaking you could make a pretty good system for searching. Just a thought?
