    <p>I did a webinar presentation last year <a href="http://www.percona.com/webinars/2012-08-22-full-text-search-throwdown" rel="nofollow">Full Text Search Throwdown</a> to compare different full-text search tools, including the MyISAM FULLTEXT index, the new implementation of InnoDB FULLTEXT index in MySQL 5.6. You can also find my slides on Slideshare: <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/billkarwin/practical-full-text-search-with-my-sql" rel="nofollow">Full Text Search Throwdown</a>.</p> <p>For performance, <a href="http://sphinxsearch.com/" rel="nofollow">Sphinx Search</a> was the clear winner. Most sites I have consulted for use InnoDB to store their canonical data, and use Sphinx Search to store an auxiliary index of that same data. Then you get the best of both worlds: data integrity with InnoDB, and speed with Sphinx Search. </p> <p>The downside of Sphinx Search is that it's hard to add more content to a given Sphinx Search index incrementally. Adding a single row to an index takes about as much work as reindexing the whole collection. There are a couple of workarounds for this.</p> <p>InnoDB FTS is pretty new, and it has some odd quirks.
