You can create a mirror table. That's probably less than ideal, as the MyISAM table will not respect your transactions (if a transaction failed on InnoDB, your changes made to MyISAM in that transaction will still appear).

You could use a dedicated full-text search system like Sphinx, which is what I have used for full-text searching (Since my database is InnoDB).
