Mean something like fulltext search on your database content?

I would use sphinx for that.
Together with ultrasphinx that would take just a few lines of code
(ok, a few more to get the config files right)

that would be all you need in the model:

  is_indexed :fields => [:title, :text, :updated_at, :created_at],
             :conditions => "draft = 0",
             :delta => {:field => "updated_at"}

this would be the controller:

  def show
    @search = Ultrasphinx::Search.new(:query => params[:keywords],
                                      :page => 1,
                                      :per_page => 50,
                                      :class_name => "pages",
                                      :sort_mode => "relevance")
    @results = @search.excerpt
  end

the searchbox for the view:

                          <% form_tag(search_path, :method => :get) do %>
                                        <input type="submit" class="submit" 
value="zoek" /><input
name="keywords" class="keywords" value=<%= params[:keywords] %> />
        <% end %>

ok, there would be lots(!) of further options and features,
what to index, when to index and so on, but this is a working
example i took from one of our sites.
