I have not seen anything in the RT4 discussions about updating or including a full-text search function. The easiest way is to use one of the existing database backends with full-text support, either PostgreSQL or Oracle currently. It would be great if you could get a more general full-text index support into RT with Sphinx, since it can use ODBC to access the backend data for indexing. The need to use a second SQL connection to Sphinx and the ODBC backend interconnect to the RT datastore really complicates the interface.
