Well, it depends on what you're storing, really.
You can store a couple of thinks like member().media, member().picture, 
member().text etc.
If you're using styled text, you can either save the RTF or HTML information

member().rtf
member().html

in a TEXT field and keep the formatting information, while at the
same time be able to search the text, or you can store the

member().text

in a TEXT field, parse the RTF or Lingo style information, such as
font, fontStyle etc. and store that style / markup in some lingo list
or other format in a separate "format" TEXT field, so your searches
will not find things like "font".
