have you ever looked into openZIM? The ZIM file format offers a highly compressed storage which includes a fulltext search index.
Currently there are Kiwix as a GUI reader application and the
zimreader
as a webserver available, along with special readers for embedded devices etc.
The Wikimedia Foundation is working on providing regular ZIM dumps of their wikis along with the SQL and XML dumps.

Certainly, a regularly updated compact offline version would be great for many purposes (eg. educational). I hope that reader will be available for different platforms, including the mobile ones (mobile internet here in developing countries is not so cheap comparing to ADSL). Dmitriy
