I would say build an index if its items which will rarely change.   
There is real power in using a Lucene-based index for full text  
search that a DB does not really focus on and would meet your  
requirements better.  Ive recently put a 200k record set thorough  
Zend_Search and the clients were pretty happy w/ how results could be  
tuned and refined.

Also remember the fulltext parser is pluggable, example ...

http://www.mnogosearch.org/doc/msearch-udmstemmer.html

Has anyone written one for Zend_Search?  Id love to figure out how to  
cross the 2 w/o the need to configure my updates ...
