Like Josh i think you need a searchengine.  Having big binary
chunks as objects in real databases wouldnt help you.

Last year i was setting up a wiki (dokuwiki) which stores its
text-contents in pure text-files on a filesystem.  There was also
a filesystem available via nfs/smb and pdf/text/xls/doc-files and
quite some more could be saved there.  Around that i used namazu
as search-engine.  Its handling kanji and periodically indexes text,
pdf, doc, xls and other kinds of files.

I use ampache for this.  Its indexing musicfiles into database in
its back.  Music searching/listening is done via webfrontend.
Amarok as standalone desktop application could also help
