来源MYSQL开发文档：

MySQL支持全文索引和搜索功能。MySQL中的全文索引类型FULLTEXT的索引。  FULLTEXT 索引仅可用于 MyISAM 表；他们可以从CHAR、 VARCHAR或TEXT列中作为CREATE TABLE语句的一部分被创建，或是随后使用ALTER TABLE 或 CREATE INDEX被添加。对于较大的数据集，将你的资料输入一个没有FULLTEXT索引的表中，然后创建索引， 其速度比把资料输入现有FULLTEXT索引的速度更为快。

全文搜索同MATCH()函数一起执行

mysql> CREATE TABLE articles (

->   id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,

->   title VARCHAR(200),

->   body TEXT,

->   FULLTEXT (title,body)

-> );

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO articles (title,body) VALUES

-> ('MySQL Tutorial','DBMS stands for DataBase ...'),

-> ('How To Use MySQL Well','After you went through a ...'),

-> ('Optimizing MySQL','In this tutorial we will show ...'),

-> ('1001 MySQL Tricks','1. Never run mysqld as root. 2. ...'),

-> ('MySQL vs. YourSQL','In the following database comparison ...'),

-> ('MySQL Security','When configured properly, MySQL ...');

Query OK, 6 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Records: 6  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> SELECT * FROM articles

-> WHERE MATCH (title,body) AGAINST ('database');
