What Stephen meant was that you would still match against all keywords, 
but the most-common matches would come straight from memory, while the 
less-common keywords would still be sent to sqlite as usual.  Hence 
"it's quicker than usual most of the time". :)

It's certainly something to think about, as I indexed part of my home 
directory and ended up with a 70MB database.  Queries took a *very* long 
time.  I think it's time for me to experiment with postgres..

Also, in case anyone else has been trying to use the indexer with 
non-text files, Julian's fix of setting UseShellExecute to false works 
nicely.  I just managed to successfully index a large number of papers 
in PS format, which gave some interesting results in Dashboard!
