Hi,

I am looking to add some full text search capabilities to my Rails
apps.  I have seen a few references to ruby Odeum... but have not had
a chance to try it.

I am also considering using MySQL''s built-in full text search:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-search.html

Do any of you have experience with either of these and can comment on
their strengths/weaknesses.  Right now, I am leaning towards the MySQL
one because it just looks so easy :)

I am also aware of Lucene, but that is not an option at this time as I
am running on TextDrive.

Thanks,
Tom
