Web server? All you need is a mechanism which adds an URI plus
fulltext index of the text fields (don't get me started on semantic
web) of the inserted object at each insert (inverse operation at
delete). If it's possible, you could just iterate over all objects in
a database which are allowed to be indexed. Then place the index in a
standard location, and (maybe) notify the web spider.

Sure, but then you just label them as non-indexable. Problem
solved. Also see buffer overruns in most URI receptacles. Seriously
long URIs is a seriously bad idea.
