A full track index is now 2GB in size. Partial indexes can be a hard  
thing to deal with since its hard to select a meaningful subset of  
the data. I would suggest that you build the indexes yourself using  
the lucene_index project:

You will have to install a local copy of the DB in order to the index  
builder to build you an index.
