Creating a cross-platform forum search function

Hi fuzzy,

did you make any improvements in getting your questions answered??

I think you've read this part, but in case you didn't:

UnStored fields are tokenized and indexed, but not stored in the index. Large amounts of text are best indexed using this type of field. Storing data creates a larger index on disk, so if you need to search but not redisplay the data, use an UnStored field. UnStored fields are practical when using a Zend_Search_Lucene index in combination with a relational database. You can index large data fields with UnStored fields for searching, and retrieve them from your relational database by using a separate field as an identifier.

So then you have no problem with the shared host limit
