I have a database that is about 200MB. It has about 140 tables and its completely MyISAM based. I’m planning to perform a fulltext search almost 100,000 a day. Should I make any improvements so that MySQL does not give me any problems?

… it depends.
If spread evenly over 24 hours that is just over one search per second, if most of them happen between 10AM and 4PM then you have almost 5 per second. How long do your searchs take on average?
You don’t mention your hardware set up or plans in the event of hardware failure so I can’t comment. How critical is the information being searched? Is it “find me a restaurant” non-critical or “find me a a patient for this heart so I can transplant it” critical?
