mnoGoSearch will use the db to do word->document indexing. ie. it provides 
the inverted-full-text feature, but uses the sql engine (internal indexes) 
for the actual search of the words (potentially faster and suitable to db 
optimizations/distribution/etc).

One can also partition the search spaces, to a folder in a filesystem, or 
to a website, or according to a specific field in the metadata... 
and support for byte/multibye characters (it's developed by a russian 
team), load distribution,etc

this gives us more details:
