Well, I would love to see full text indexing with some understanding of the
language in question as well - I believe this is what Oracles product is
about and not just simple regexp matching. I want to be able to do regexps,
synonyms, soundex, etc. And I guess there is no standard for specifying
these different kind of searches.
