    Full text search is great for searching one table. If you have two or three+ tables you could…

    • union your queries (performance doubles every time you union)
    • refactor your database to one table.
    • Create an index table to query from, run t-sql every (x amount of min and repopulate your data from other tables)

    If you don’t have any authority to change the schema you could try Sphinx, Lucene.net or SOLR
