Another alternative might be to use the Multicolumn search plugin, it claims to have full text search capabilities.

Hmm; that's not a bad idea. I'm assuming a lot here--OCR--and it's still tough, but it's a good approach. It's time I tried out that multicolumn search thingy.

Thanks for your help!
