Hello Tom,
Currently you can't use InnoDB tables and Full-Text search, also you
can't use MyISAM (which support Full-Text) with foreign keys (it's
planned to implement foreign keys in MyISAM tables in MySQL 5.0). So my
suggestion: use InnoDB & MyISAM together -> maybe it isn't "referential
safe" but what can we do...

Good luck,
Marek
