  • That would certainly give you your needed matches, and it sounds like it eliminates your four negative bullet points. So what do you mean by "better" then? Commented Sep 14, 2011 at 22:08
  • By "better" I mean if there is a more efficient, sort of best practice way of doing it? I wouldn't want to be to hasty with this only to find out the solution doesn't work as intended half way in. I don't have much experience in terms of natural language searching.

    Your approach seems sound to me. You should probably limit your search to only those fields that might actually produce useful results, like "memo" fields and titles. You won't know how well it performs until you actually create some mockup data and perform some test searches, but that shouldn't be too hard to do, and once you do that and prove that it works, you're golden.
