Thanks Ikai. I'll probably go for your suggestion, and try to cache the indexes in MemCache.
There are different kinds of searches: 1. String search in the spoken language translations of the signs. Most often that is start-of-string, but it could also be end or part of string. There are also three kinds of "translations" that must be kept track of. Sometimes searchers should be restricted to one of these kinds. 2. ID search. Take a sign id, return the sign. I probably won't need a separate index for this. 3. Each sign is transcribed, i.e. there is a structural description of the hand movements. Using this description, similarities between signs can be calculated. So, one search type is to fetch signs that are similar to another sign, in terms of transcription.
