Trust me, I have thought about this.
I have only one fear - that it would take a tremendous amount of space to store
word lists :(((((((((

Simple calculus : for each word I have to store the articles it appers into. I
don't know how efficient sql stores the integers, i.e. how much overhead.

I will have to do some tests though and if the space needed is acceptable then
you bet I will use only 100% sql and php :))
