I need to store documents into database and I need to be able to provide full text searches to those documents. Can I do that with MySQL?
Yes, you can do that. As of Version 3.23.23, MySQL has support for full-text indexing and searching. Full-text indexes in MySQL are an index of type FULLTEXT. FULLTEXT indexes are used with MyISAM tables only and can be created from CHAR, VARCHAR, or TEXT columns at CREATE TABLE time or added later with ALTER TABLE or CREATE INDEX.
You can read more about the MySQL Full Text Search from http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html)
