Sounds cool. Hack something up and push it to github/Google Code/whatever so we can see the commits. :)

I would be extremely proud of myself to get high quality search in place in one weekend.

Don't projects like Lucene make full text search really easy?

It just takes testing and tuning with real data to get it right.
