"An answer" is Oracle's TextServer or their new RDBMS-integrated ConText option to the Oracle 7.3 database. Very heavy on searching features: theme based searching, text reduction, proximity searching, boolean searches, synonym expansion, and forward and reverse truncation. They claim the product actually parses the english language and "understands" the text. One great feature, IMO, is the integration with SQL so that the text searches can be embeded directly into the SQL statments. Older versions used a CONTAINS "sub-clause" within the WHERE clause. I've also heard that it supports at least 50 different file formats like MS-Word, WordPerfect, etc...
