Alternative to Full Text search on InnoDB engine

[viktor]

I have an InnoDB Database and I need to do a Search on Text fields, Is there a way to get the MyISAM approach of the full text search on InnoDB?

Much appreciated.

Thanks

I know that there is an API like Sphinx (www.sphinxsearch.com), and that i could create a slave table that could be on ISAM, but i would like to know if there is another alternative?

Thanks

one common approach is to split the table in 2 and have the fields you want to fulltext search in a myISAM table and the rest in the InnoDB table.
