Not everything supported by a dbms is a dbms-theory topic. DBMSs support lots of math functions, but there's nothing specific to data management about arithmetic.

I'd start here:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22full+text+index%22

Lots of references to chase down. Probably most of those references are about how to use one in an existing system, but you'll find some implementation papers in there as well. I see one with Garcia-Molina as an author on the first page; maybe start there. Also you could add "implementation" to your search string and see if that helps.

In general, when asking this kind of question, you want to start out by describing what aspects of your web search haven't been as useful as you had hoped, and be specific about what else you'd like to see. It also helps to pick an appropriate newsgroup.
