* Is the procedure to store file paths, or the actual text itself?
In order to use MySQL full-text indexing funcionality, you will need to store the actual text, and you need to have a FULLTEXT index on the column. Note that full-text indexing is supported only with MyISAM tables.
* How are such files uploaded to the database? (I don't see how you would do either with a LOAD DATA or an INSERT statement. )
To get the file contents into a column, you could use LOAD_FILE() function.
