have you ever looked into openZIM? The ZIM file format offers a highly 
compressed storage which includes a fulltext search index.

Currently there are Kiwix as a GUI reader application and the zimreader 
as a webserver available, along with special readers for embedded 
devices etc.

The Wikimedia Foundation is working on providing regular ZIM dumps of 
their wikis along with the SQL and XML dumps.
