As far as searching goes, the "out of database" comments have to do with whether or not the search index should be stored in the database, or directly in the filesystem. As to whether or not the indexing of one's static pages would continue to be done via visiting the static_pages table or not, I don't know. We'll either have to teach an indexer to search PG tables (bboard, news_items, etc) or teach the scripts or PG triggers how to stuff the indexer's tables regardless of how we treat static .html pages.
