title: MySQL InnoDB Text Search Options
body: <p>Knowing full well that my InnoDB tables don't support FULLTEXT searches, I'm wondering what my alternatives are for searching text in tables ? Is the performance <em>that</em> bad when using LIKE ? </p>
  
  <p>I see a lot of suggestions saying to make a copy of the InnoDB table in question in a MYISAM table, and then run queries against THAT table and match keys between the two and I just don't know that that's a pretty solution. </p>
  
  <p>I'm not opposed to using some 3rd party solution, I'm not a huge fan of that though. I'd like to explore more of what MySQL can do on its own. </p>
  
  <p>Thoughts ?</p>
