Full-text Search TODO
---------------------

   * Make all operations with `FULLTEXT' index *faster*.

   * Support for braces `()' in boolean full-text search.

   * Phrase search, proximity operators

   * Boolean search can work without `FULLTEXT' index (yes, *very*
     slow).

   * Support for "always-index words". They could be any strings the
     user wants to treat as words, examples are "C++", "AS/400",
     "TCP/IP", etc.

   * Support for full-text search in `MERGE' tables.

   * Support for multi-byte charsets.

   * Make stopword list to depend of the language of the data.

   * Stemming (dependent of the language of the data, of course).

   * Generic user-supplyable UDF (?) preparser.

   * Make the model more flexible (by adding some adjustable parameters
     to `FULLTEXT' in `CREATE/ALTER TABLE').
