@h1100e Full text search is still on the way.

[ddorian]

Does it make sense to support this ? Since when you go lots of distributed data, you may want to use a specialized tool like solr,elasticsearch etc ?

[shenli]

Solr or elastic-search would be a better choice.
Full-text search is on our roadmap. This could make it more convenient for accessing your data in TiDB in a different way. But it is not a high priority feature.

[morgo]

Just a quick update: TiDB 3.0 will not yet support FULLTEXT, but we plan to make it a little clearer that it is not supported: #9821

@morgo @shenli Any idea how long it might take to implement FULLTEXT? Popular open-source apps like Mattermost need it and our project needs some sort of full text search as well. Just asking before we decide for a strategy. Sending you a complete pull request doesn't seem feasible for now.
