Stemming, eh? Hmmm...interesting concept. I'll research it.

Overall, the total size of my current content file (even if I add in all the html template pages) is just over a meg. This generates over 100 pages of content at my site currently.

If the content size was, say, 10 times greater, I would agree with you as searching a 10 meg file would take time. I think for the first version I will probably not stem the content...or at least not until I have a better grasp on the specifics of it. Also, by leaving things in this way, anybody using whatever db engine they wanted to use could do searches on the data, including phrase searching say like thru DBI, DBD::AnyData, and SQL::Statement. ;D

Thanks for that bit of info about stemming...I will look into it.
