Hello Patrick,

ok I understand and I will follow your advice. Moreover mixing fulltext with 
other indexes in the same list is confusing for the user as it suggest that 
they are from the same family.

I think that having a checkbox or button to run the search on the fulltex index 
(setting &f=fulltext in url) should be a good alternative.

I have a related question:
why in advanced search the snippets are not displayed? This should allows to 
mix all fields and fulltext search.

Thanks,
