+An important quote from the manual:
+<BLOCKQUOTE>
+In MySQL Version 3.23.23 or later, you can also create special FULLTEXT indexes. They are used for full-text search. Only the MyISAM table type supports FULLTEXT indexes. They can be created only from
+VARCHAR and TEXT columns. Indexing always happens over the entire column and partial indexing is not supported. See section 25.2 MySQL Full-text Search for details. 
+</BLOCKQUOTE>

+I plan on using a MyISAM table type with 11 metadata fields of column 
+type=TEXT.

 It might be worthwhile to look at /usr/local/mysql/manual.html.
 It is quite in depth.
