What is the best way to simulate a fulltext search on a MySQL table of type InnoDB? Do I index the searchable fields and use the LIKE() function with appropriate wildcards? What are the performance implications with this? Switching back to a table type of MyISAM is really not an option. Is there an "accepted" way of dealing with this issue?
