Hi,

The next version of H2 will not allow to create indexes on BLOB and
CLOB columns.

Currently not. A regular index can in theory speed up queries of the
form "column like 'xxx%'", but in practice such indexes are still bad
because they load a lot of data (log(n) rows, but each row can be very
big).

You can define what tables / columns to index:
http://h2database.com/javadoc/org/h2/fulltext/FullText.html#createIndex_Connection_String_String_String

But it's true that there is only one fulltext index per database.

Yes, that would be an option.

Thomas
