I am developing a search feature for a system that has around 200,000+
plus rows of data that needs to be searched. The data is sales and
registrations data so the search will be over multiple fields and over
multiple tables. Since the data between the tables is separate, the
search needs to do something like this:

(`registrations`.`licensee` LIKE 'query%') OR
(`registrations`.`organization` LIKE 'query%') OR
(`registrations`.`address` LIKE 'query%') OR
(`registrations`.`city` LIKE 'query%')  etc...

on the registrations table and sales table.

My question is if Sphinx is right for this? I have read a lot about it
but I can't find much information on if it relates to my problem. I
know it's a full text search replacer, but will it be better than
MySQL when it has to search over dozens of fields?
