The problem that you are trying to solve is traditional word based search which is probably more suited to a search engine than a SQL database. A typical search engine will allow you to index content such that an efficient word index is created in addition to a relational style table to store the meta-data for each document.
The search engine approach involves indexing the files as a preparation process followed by searching. The indexing part will require that the files are read (spidered) and filtered to extract content and metadata. Once the index is prepared, the search engine's query interface can be used to get reults.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
