ZCTextIndex solves all of the problems you describe and does a much
better job scoring results to boot! It can be dropped in as a
replacement for exising textindexes in ZCatalog.

It comes with Zope 2.6, but can be installed in Zope 2.5 as a standalone
product. You just have to compile the C extensions in it. (Copy
Makefile.pre.in into the product, do: make -f Makefile.pre.in boot &&
make)
