Actually bw currently has 4 options depending on what you need, and one of the 
simple indexing ones is probably fine in this case, but that IS an area where 
accessing a better full text search IN Firebird would be useful :)

And then a web site fully powered by it is an essential demonstration ;)

As an aside, since 'security' has been mentioned. One thing that has been built 
into the basic search is filtering on content that a user is currently allowed 
access to. Many CMS systems will return a set of results, and then tell you you 
do not have permission to access a page. My own customers have material that has 
restricted access and can only be seen once you have the correct login. Very 
useful for private discussions before they are 'approved' for distribution, but 
difficult to implement when using some of the 'heavier' full text search options!
