Description:
Relevancy needs some help and you say it's on the top of 
your todo list.  Weighting the FULLTEXT index would help.

How to repeat:
Have many fields in a record.  Half are FULLTEXT indexed. 
One field is three times more important than the others if
matches are found there.

Suggested fix:

It would be great to be able to add weights to fields that 
compromise the FULLTEXT index at index build time.

It would also be nice to add fulltext to innodb table type.
