well, that's more devoted to obtain a typical search engine results
in a Google style. What I need is something similar of what happens
searching inside books in Google Books:

I wonder if storing every line in its field can cause an enormous
table of registers. The book has 580 pages, 40 lines/page gives a
table with 23.200 registers.
Is this size a bad idea regarding resources and speed results?.
Because I will need to parse every field contents when searching the 
words. 

I'm asking before starting to divide and import the book.

Thanks for the help,
