It might not be perfect, but MySQLs built in searching certainly beats doing a bunch of LIKE '%blah%'s as far as I'm concerned.

I ran into a similar problem that you describe, but my solution was less elegant: I taught the users of the db how to use operators (such as the plus to force an include) own their own. Like the new design, btw. Never would've guessed you like the color orange (*cough* vFive *cough). mySQL’s full-text search has been a never-ending source of headaches for me… while it works fine in the context of mySQL’s documentation (hey, search this title for this word), its ease of implementation starts falling apart in real life if you want to, say, search more than one field in one table.
