    Searching large text fields [concluded]

    Suppose there's a MySQL table that has a BLOB field storing a huge amount of text. Further, suppose I were to perform a search on that table, looking for some specific word.

    Would MySQL handle it well? What I imply by this question is, is it OK to have large text fields in a table, and perform queries on them, or would it be safer to have, instead of the large text field, a path to a text file containing all that text?

    Tell me if I'm not clear enough.
