I'll take a look at that, thanks. Good to have some practice with fulltext, but it just dawned on me that I eventually want to add database abstraction and using a MySQL specific search engine would become a huge speed bump when that happens.

Are there benchmarks out there for PHPs array handling? I'm wondering if I was to pull an entire database out into an array and then work on it from there to create the index, or if I should pull it out in chunks... Hmm. I just need a solid base to start with, so I guess I'll just go play around till something fits.
