Sorry, don't understand this.

That is one possibility. The other option is to always make an ajax
request to the full text search. It's asynchronous, so it won't stop
page rendering, and if it doesn't return successfully (no Internet
connection, for example) the user experience won't be affected (beyond
not having the full text results in addition to the current javascript
index results).

Ok. I thought there were issues with Google, but, yeah, if it works it
is certainly easier than setting up Lucene.
