That's what their marketing material says, but in fact it does index the full-text content like a traditional search engine. You can also run pure XQuery without setting up indexes, but you'll be limited in the scope of queries available and the performance you'll get from unindexed searches. I agree that if it's possible, combining the files at the time of injection into ML makes sense. (On some of the projects I've worked on with ML that would've been infeasible due to the scale of the data and the frequency of updates.) Liza
