That's probably a bit more high-level than I was asking for TBH - I was
curious as to whether there was a better way to write the query, and I'm
assuming from the lack of comments on my idiocy that it's at least okay :)
The headline column in the query has an index (it is limited to 200 characters
to fit the web layout), and I shall investigate using the stuff in your reply
to Francisco (though I never saw his post for some reason) regarding fulltext.
Thanks,
Mark
