Hi,

        Can someone advise on the best [fastest] way to search about 
12 'text' fields from 2 tables for a keyword?  It's fast from 1 
table, but slows _way_ down when I add fields from the second table.

        Should I:

        1) Index all fields involved?
        2) Get involved with multiple-column indexes

        I've seen 
http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/u/Multiple-column_indexes.html but am 
getting a BLOB error (MySQL 3.22.32, RedHat 6.2) when trying to add 
the index.  The field is a text field.

        Any and all advice is appreciated.

        Thanks.
