Unless it's really, really, really prohibitive or impossible, I'd recommend regenerating your index. Messing around in the low-level file formats is just asking for trouble. Not to mention that you'll probably have to remanufcture your index sometime, somewhere and hack all over again or *hope* that your code changes would match your new index. Whereas if you remanufacture with "kw", you'll be sure things are consistent
Or worst of all, regenerate the index and have some other poor soul try to figure out what the heck is going on with the application. "It doesn't work whenever I search on the 'kw' field". I guess, if I were looking at it, I'd have to say that either making a new index so I could use "kw" rather than "keyword" was valuable enough to remanufacture the index or not valuable enough to do <G>...
