I needed to index a site that had data in mysql and xml, i ended up
using lucene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucene) (admittedly it was
for a .net site so used the .net port of it). It allows you to create an
index on fields you create and data you pass in. Then using the same
api, query and display the results.

Not too sure how easy it is to integrate with PHP, maybe a place to
start looking.
