If you are planning on searching a lot through your data, I suggest you
take a look at a good search engine like Ferret or act_as_solr. Or even
Lucene or Solr if you have any Java experience. For example in Ferret
you could apply a boots, to make certain fields more important than
others and Ferret already gives a relevancy score. Doing a full-text
search in MySQL could give you scaling problems in the long run. Good
luck.

Kind regards,
