Don't get the impression that the methodology described here is by any means a substitute for full text search - it certainly is not. In the article we are simply defining a keyword as the text between space characters and we are in control of what tags we use to describe a log entry. In a real-world scenario you are more likely going to need the abilities of the full text engine's parser (word breaker) as well as the efficiency and versatility of full text querying. This is in fact a self-contained solution to the problem of keyword search, but it is a bare-bones solution. I use it mainly for keeping track of information that can be described with a handful of keywords.
