AFAIK MySQL's fulltext indexing is only supported on MyIsam tables, so
if you want to use it, you lose ACID, hot backup and a couple other nice
things entirely for that part of your data. Many MySQL users still
believe that the pluggable storage engine design is an advantage ... I
think one storage engine that supports the full feature set is better.
