Drew - Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be looking into that over the weekend. I assume that this is something I can easily make into part of my package, and not something I need admin privileges to install?

Rob - Interesting stuff! I've always wondered how search engines did it, and I had a vague idea, I just wasn't 100%. You suggested using a third party library. Please could you suggest the terms I should Google for? I'm sure there is a technical name for this type of indexing, but I've spent hours searching and never found what I was looking for. Obviously this is a sign I'm not using the right search terms.

Also, are their any third party libraries you would recommend? I'm guessing you haven't actually used any, but instead implemented your own?

Thank you both for your comments.
