No! Please don't!  The version we released scales horribly. 

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll release a free version of
InvertedIndex that's any good. :-[

Eventually, we will offer a commercial Python OODBMS product that
includes a much improved inverted index, as well as other indexing
structures such as various database-oriented tree and set structures. In
the mean time, we are willing to license this technology on a case by
case basis.  We are currently using this technology heavily in our own
products.
