I think that this will be common enough that there needs to be a way to do
this.  Like I said before, there really two ways to do this.  

One (which I think would be easiest) would be to just index the words under
different metanames.  For a huge index that might be an issue since words
(word position data) is getting duplicated in the index.  In the config
file might do something like:


  MetaNameGroup all author keywords comment

Which would have the effect of:

      <all>
          <author>...</author>
          <keywords>...</keywords>
          <comment>...</comment>
      </all>

The other way, which would be harder to implement (at least for me) would
be to extend the search syntax to do something like:

     -w author,keywords,comment=foo

which would look for "foo" in any of those metanames.  The advantage of
this method is a slightly smaller index file, plus you can group things
after the index is created -- that is, you don't have to define the groups
in the config file when indexing.
