Thanks... Really?! If I can follow-up with another question, does experience suggest Full-Text Search handles a large number of such documents efficiently? For example, I am expecting to have (up to) one million documents in my database. I was considering breaking each document into paragraphs for search efficiency, but if Full-Text Search can search return results quickly on a large number of "long" (e.g. 10,000+ character) documents, my database has just become much simpler.
