Matt, It all depends on how much information in your documents you index, and how much information you cause to be stored in the index. In my specific case, the index is something less than half the size of the database. I figure when/if I have time to fine-tune it, I can reduce the size of the index by about a third.
Hope that helps. Regards, Terry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew B.
