I've written a few specialized search engines and just started another one the other day for more general-purpose needs. The upside is that it handles HTML along with some other formats, but the downside is it's decidedly English-centric (I use a Porter stemmer, and while I've considered using his variants for other Latin-based languages I have no such facility for languages like Chinese).

Scott's tool seems pretty nice. Any chance you could just import your data into cards to use that?

By "thousands", just how many thousands?

Maybe the simplest solution for somewhat large collections would be the free-text indexing built into SQLite. Anyone here know if we have a means of using that from within LC?
