I've had the recent pleasure to play with INMAGIC from INMAGIC Corp.
2067 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02140.  A very powerful document
retrieval system with an elaborate search language, and flexible
user-defined indexing capabilities.  I would certainly give this one a
look.  Of course if you wanted a general purpose RDBMS that also handled
text real well, you might check out Revelation, (or Pick) but Inmagic
is a niche product, and text retrieval (so called library searches)
are its niche...
