Yep i do that but varchar and text fields aren't index so ... I'm also having a look to FULLTEXT index, but i think that the index will be really really big ... :( I'm also reading docs about locking. In fact i saw while using show full processlist that when mysql is executing the query, all other ones are 'locked' but why lock table for a SELECT query ? And that's a good question. I surely missed something about the lock statement ...
