We have been analyzing (slow) performance of Trac queries, with 160K+ 
tickets and 100 users. We have been experiencing Trac queries taking 45 
seconds and longer to update browser screens. One option we would like to 
explore is that addition of FULLTEXT index in InnoDB storage engine in 
MySQL. Your documentation seems somewhat dated 6 or 7 years ago), where it 
claims that FULLTEXT is only available for MyISAM (which has very slow 
performance) in MySQL. There have been enhancements to MySQL in intervening 
years.

To the best of my understanding, to "trigger" use of such FULLTEXT indices, 
one has to alter the SQL query: using MATCH... AGAINST... construct, 
instead of LIKE. When I look into DEBUG logs from Trac, and when I scan the 
almost 100KLOC .py* code in Trac, I only see queries composed of 
SELECT...LIKE..., and nothing looking like MATCH... AGAINST... Are there 
code changes that have to be made to use FULLTEXT indices in MySQL? Is 
there some kind of "switch" or "patch" to implement such changes?

p.s. I get the impression that MATCH... AGAINST... is not traditional SQL 
(certainly not in '92 or '99 standards?). Is it supported by other 
databases? Is it supported by Trac?
