Just out of curiosity, would you consider using a third-party solution to 
index your
stuff?

I use Atomz.com for some of my things (not affiliated, just impressed) and 
I really
like the number of different types of searches you can do. You can do field 
searches
(even search by alt text, title tags, body text, meta tags, etc.) exclude 
certain search
words, set up multiple search indexes (you could have a search engine for 
the complete
index and then separate engines for each year of publications, etc.)

Anyway, I really like it. http://www.atomz.com/

Best,
