I was asking for the current situation here.  What do the logs tell?
How many different search queries so far?  How many mini-articles so far?

>> ...the concept of creating one mini article per search query...

I phrased this wrong.  I should have written "concept of associating mini articles directly with search queries".  Don't get me wrong, I love it the way it is (ignoring character case and similar issues).  And I would love it to stay that way, so...

>> Has anyone got any idea how far [the concept] can be taken?  

How many articles should the current system be able to handle?

The overhead of a mini-article plays a role here.  
How much additional disk space does the average additional mini-article need?

>> Is it possible to keep up indefinitely?

This obviously depends on the expected number of mini-articles,
or rather the expected growth rate.  
To estimate this, we need the "minis per unique query" ratio described above.
