Gerald,

Look at Rubicon from www.tamaracka.com . It requires that you use the TIBO
components and build a separate wordlist for you.

Second thought: how general a search do you need? If it need not be
indexed, perhaps LIKE or CONTAINING will do what you want.

Third thought: I had to abandon Rubicon and wrote my own parser/indexer.
It supports boolean searches and simple wildcards, but not phrases or
regular expressions. If you'd like the code and the paper I wrote on the
subject, just send me a private e-mail.
