>Could anyone advise an alternative to PHDBase 3.61 ( it would be nice to have the same power ) to be able to conduct full text retrieval against VFP free tables ( .dbc not essential). No requirement to have a front-end in VFP ( VB or Delphi will be suitable ).

Does it have to be VFP free tables? They are probably not optimum for free text retrieval, and that requirement is likely to severely restrict your options.
If you could relax that restriction, you could look at Web query engines such as AltaVista or even Microsoft Index Server. Other engines (Inktomi, Google?) may have commercial versions available as well.
