Have you ever used an inverted word index? This is what full-text search usually is based on. Searching a million documents efficiently should be no big deal. You also only have to do this as part of the job of creating a new node. You don't need to do it when serving files.
Yes, an unrelated part of the app relies on an inverted word index. This is definitely how I would approach the "Wiki" aspect of the app, if I was only matching whole words. However, this implementation needs to be able to match the "perl" in "mod_perl," or the "net" in "cybernetic."
