Essentially impossible. You need an index for that. The way to get a full-text index is to switch to MyISAM or, better, Postgres. Building a full-text index in the application layer is poor practice and less maintainable. Moral: let the DB do the indexing. If your DB doesn't support the indexing you need, change your DB -- proper indexing is vital. But also the ability to automatically deal with pluralisation > and (probably at some point) fuzzy matching.
