Textfield vs. Blob

[Douglas Brantz]

I am creating a database that will have a faq that users can search and
match a word in a field .

In Mysql is it better to user the Blob or textfield fieldname?

If not what would be the best description for a field that would contain
a one page document that will be searched.

Thanks

Douglas
