I personally dislike FULL TEXT, the reason for that is because your keyword must be at least 4 keys long.

This gave me problems when a user wanted to find my PHP IRC BOT tutorial and went searching only with "IRC". And people wont keep searching until they found the correct keyword.

The remedy for this problems was lowering the minimal keyword size in the mysql boot config (while starting it from cli), but that must be done as a server admin. So people on shared webhosts arent able to do that themself.
