I would like to have a look on it. We have similar "simple" full text
search with a keyword table and usage of stop words. But I would really
like to try some thirdparty add-on. I used Verity full text search for
awhile with Sybase. It let you do joins and such with proxy tables that
were the interface to Verity full text index. Very nice from a usage
perspective compared to what I'm doing now...

Gunnar
