JZ> Did you first try an ANALYZE TABLE to update the optimizer stats? Yes ... I'm still having problem in fact, my search query is faster but also lock my table. But it's just a select :( I'm doing TCP connections to mysql and not localhost, perhaps the problem is here ... The network is ok and my app server is linking with the mysql server over a 100Mb LAN. The network have been tested and tested and all is well. I've given a try to fulltext index, not really better in query time processing but indeces have gone bigger drasticully ... Now, i should give a try to InnoDb. And i 'll also try to split my MyISAM table into smaller ones ...
