I meant to mention that although I'm using InnoDB, I'm storing a copy of the searchable text in a MyISAM table and using the MySQL search on it.  That's okay for now, but I'm looking for clustering, faceted search and other fancy stuff.

I've worked in search-related technology for a long time and I should know that search performance always demands lots of memory...  So I may bite the bullet and use Solr, after all.  I just wish there were a way to trade off the memory for speed until I'm ready to deploy a real working version.
