since 2.1 - see release notes for 2.1

> 2) Full text search / indexing

select blobfield from table where blobfield containing 'my search string';
will always return records whre the blob contains 'my search string'
in this case, the blobs must be plain text. records which contain e.g. 'my
<b>search</b> string' will not be returned.
indexing is limited by an index key length limit and blob field indexing is
not possible.
Several third party products add to this - refer to ibphoenix.com website
