You can do pretty neat things with indexes and regexp queries. The mongo-search project is also pretty cool (does Porter stemming, indexing, etc). That said, if you need powerful "full-text searching" I would look to something like Lucene o

The pages were actually cached locally for the chrome tests. The point of the test (besides being cool) was to show the rendering speed of the browser.

Personally, I would still put some caching in front of a document db. Either something in the application (memcache), or something in front of the web service (varnish, squid)
