That's exactly what I mean. Whoever needs something more sophisticated than this, IMHO the easiest way is couchdb-lucene. Lucene is much better than all the "pure couchdb" tricks. It's faster, more reliable, the search will be better in terms of the quality of the search results etc. The only case I would recommend implementing some "pure couchdb" solution would be if your app is written in couchapp and relies on replication to distribute the app itself. Then you can't enforce everyone to setup lucene. Nicolas, in your particular situation you need full text search. Nothing less will be satisfactory for you and your users. And in my opinion setting up couchdb-lucene is easier than writing "fulltext-like" views for couchdb.
