Thanks for the reply. As for your question on what type of documents we 
are indexing the answer is its very similar to that site I mentioned or 
an Ebay like site.

So there are a bunch of items that people are selling/buying and I would 
like a user to be able to search those items against title, description, 
keywords etc.
