Hi Kovid, thanks for the including of the full text search. Much appreciated.

I have a question tough about the index file size (full-text-search.db): it is about the same size as the complete library size itself, a ratio of 1:1 so to speak. Up to now I used the program docfetcher, which manages a ratio of 5:1.
Meaning my main library of about 19GiB has a full-text-search.db of ~19GiB, while docfetcher manages to squeeze their index into ~3,5GiB.

That's something to be aware of due to needed and available storage sizes (and according backups).

Is there any change that calibre's index file size is likely to become smaller due to possible future tweaking possibilities?
