I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the Sphinx full text 
search engine?  http://www.sphinxsearch.com/

Looking at it, I was thinking it might be possible to work out an 
interface to programatically convert Joomla searchbots into Sphinx full 
text search capability(or maybe just create a specific extention and 
leave it up to component authors to integrate their components).

Like memcache, Sphinx search is for the more medium level of Joomla user 
- you can't run these types of apps on a shared hosting environment, but 
require a dedicated/virtual server to run them on - but it looked like 
an interesting project to try.
