Has anyone seen a similar script available somewhere? I have a feeling I've got something like what you want but it's not opensource. Perhaps someday... > BTW, thanks Chris -- that helped plenty.

I wouldn't give up entirely on full-text searching without doing some benchmarks on your code. I have a feeling that unless you have either an obscene number of articles or a ton of users searching at any given time it will probably be acceptable. MySQL caches data in memory where possible & modern hardware makes a surprisingly large number of inherently inefficient tasks feasible.
