Does anyone know if there is a faster way to search a directory tree for a
certain word than "find /dir/ -name "*.txt"|xargs grep -l "theword" " ?
I want to do this to make a search engine for my local (LAN) website.
Since the site is over 50 megs (I mirror a lot of stuff for local use),
and the server is a 486, the search takes more time than I would like.

Is it possible to achieve the same effect using some database, while
allowing a search for _ALL_ words, not just a few predefined keywords? If
so, how?

Thanks in advance,

Frank
