Look for an alternative...

Valid alternatives depend on what "documents" are, what type
of searches you need and how much time/money you are ready to spend:

  *  put them in a MySQL database and try its (new) full text support

  *  use "ExtFile" and an external search engine (e.g. HTdict)

  *  use Oracle and its full text support

  *  ....
