RE: Full text for keyword(s) search?

[Victor Pendleton]

If you are using MyISAM tables you can create a fulltext index. This index
should give you better performance over a wildcarded like search provided
that no more than fifty percent of your rows do not contain the word or
words you will be searching for.

If I want to search for a word (or multiple words) in a field on one
table,
searching through at least a thousand records (and growing daily),
should I
be using full text or something else to make this search faster? I'm
using
MySQL 3.23.58.

Thanks,
Eve
