After a long abstinence from partipating in Rev lists I might chime in here:

You could have a look at my "SearchDocs" stack - now updated for Rev version
2.6.1 (both to be used in the Rev and the MC IDE), which includes the Topics, too.

Search is "lightning-fast" amd you do not get simply addresses, but all lines
containing the (colored) searchstrings along with the addresses that can lead
you immediately to the full XML-article.

Similar procedures are used in my tools "Topsearch" for searching text fields
and my four-year old "revbrowser", which contains the option to really
fast-search all the scripts in stack.

The address is: <http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>. Go to page "Tools and Samples
for Development".

There are other efficient tools around in the Metacard and Rev community (among
them Richard Gaskin's and Klaus Major's), but it does not hurt to look around.
