Have you looked at Beagle?  Sponsored by Novell, it is a full text 
indexing and retrieval system.

The official documentation is here:

http://beaglewiki.org/Main_Page

I've begun to document my real world experience with Beagle and Fedora 
Core 4:

There are still a few open issues I've indicated I want to address;  
feedback is welcome.

You should also be able to install Beagle on FC 3, but I haven't done 
this with the latest Beagle version.
