text search question

I'm working on a new project with php & mysql.

I anticipate that one of the tables may grow above 40 GB in a short
time. The main content is text. Now what tools do I need to implement a
text search in this big text database ? I'd like the search to be quite
advanced, supporting boolean operations and metaphones and so on.

What should I be surveying now ?

Any hints/pointers/suggestions/comments/ advise on concepts ?

Thanks
Mike

You will need a commercial text search and indexing tool. Oracle*Text is
one such tool. I was consulting for a company that was using it and they
were very happy with the tool.
This group might not be the right place to ask such a question. Of course,
PHP supports Oracle so you will be able to interface PHP with Oracle*Text.

I'm writing a find and replace routine for a text editor I'm working on. The editor has a rich text box on the main form (frmMain). The find/replace form is modeled after the one in Word '97/2K.

I need to find a way to make sure my frmFindReplace does not obscure the view of the found word that has been...

I have a multiline textbox with 10 lines of text in it. I want to search Line by Line for the word" ". How do I process one line in a text box at a time?

I am wondering if the following can be done. I want to setup a search page that utilizes full text searching in sql2000. I want the user to type in say "where is bill" and have the query search across multiple columns in multiple tables and return a single list of results so that i can show unique records that are returned. The problem is that my data for 1 record is split across multiple tables so that the search has to occur in each

What is the *fastest* way in .NET to search large on-disk text files (100+ MB) for a given string. The files are unindexed and unsorted, and for the purposes of my immediate requirements, can't be indexed/sorted. I don't want to load the entire file into physical memory, memory-mapped files are ok (and preferred). Speed/performance is a requirement -- the target is to locate the string in 10 seconds or less for a 100 MB file. The...

Hi, I'm working on a piece of code that - 1. has a list of text files 2. and needs to search for a particular expression in these files (this is being done on Linux using gcc 3.4.2) Currently the search is done using the 'grep' utility on linux. This takes too much time, and kills the responsiveness of the application.
