I don't know what power of InnoDB you're referring to, but you can always
use InnoDB for certain parts of your data and MyISAM for the texts you want
to search with full text indexing.
- transactions
 You can store the sensitive data in InnoDB table(s) and the texts in
MyISAM; it's not very likely that blocks of text are sensitive for
transaction influences
- large tables
  Store the text in multiple tables. Simply find a way to break up your data
in more than one table.
- high concurrency.
 This can be a problem, but in most cases large amounts of texts are not
inserted/updated very frequently. So in real life this will hardly be a
problem.
