If you only search for words or phrases (and not parts of words), have
you considered adding one table that simply contains one WORD and the
PK of your main table (if the words tends to be long and exist in
several records, you could consider another table as well)? That
should help you reduce the set you actually have to consider
considerably (unless you search for words commonly used).
