I think it has problems at around the 2GB limit as far as BLOBS and CLOBS are concerned. Are any of your docs bigger than 2GB?
It will index all popular doc formats (word, excel, ppt, pdf, blah blah) directly from a BLOB. It can automatically produce an HTML version of the stored doc (with search terms highlighted if that's your kind of thing). It can also index smaller amounts of textual infomation with a different kind of index that doesn't need syncing, which is possibly what your DBA was talking about, but this is not the limit of its power.
