Hi, The permanent data is going to be stored separately but as data is parsed into fragments before indexing, it isn't a very good idea to rebuild the index...However, i was looking at rails just to provide the front-end to the indexing and searching that would go on in the backend, which doesn't really justify it's usage but i thought it would probably give more flexibility dealing with the index..I am hoping to make a model based on an index so it can communicate easily with the core program and work it out from there, but it'll need some reading as I only started rails today..
