I should probably mention somewhere in the documentation that all caveats at
listed at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-search.html
apply (e.g. mysql tries to break up words at boundaries, meaning that
'red-eye' is treated as 'red' and 'eye'; and mysql ignores any word
less than four letters long)
