I have a MySQL database created using a custom Python script. I need to implement full-text search on a table in the database. I can use SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE (title LIKE '%hello%' OR title LIKE '%world%'), however I don’t think that is a very efficient way of implementing search since the data in the table has nearly one million rows.

I am using innoDB tables so the built in MySQL full text search for MyISAM will not work. Any suggestions on methods or tutorials that will point me in the right direction?

    If your data is content like you could use some full-text search specific engine like Lucene:

    http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/

    If you are doing Django you have Haystack:

    Solr is also a full-text search related technology you might read about:
