It's faster than a table scan.

True of files when they are updated, too.

We update /DB/index every morning at 2a.

We do, however, use SQL 7 Full-text.  A lot faster than Verity/CFAS 4.5.1.
Also, easier to combine SQL7 full-text search with ordinary SQL in one 
step.  With Verity it was a two-step process.

I'll be interested in what's said about Verity's K2.
