Well, my question is if search is a requirement. If so, I think you  
have to go the separate table route. It would still be possible to  
generalize it - you just define the audit table as the base table +  
several well-defined fields, and then a general audit library can  
handle it (especially if you integrate something like RDO that does  
database introspection).
