Essentially impossible. You need an index for that. The way to get a
full-text index is to switch to MyISAM or, better, Postgres. Building a
full-text index in the application layer is poor practice and less
maintainable.

Moral: let the DB do the indexing. If your DB doesn't support the
indexing you need, change your DB -- proper indexing is vital.

But also the ability to automatically deal with pluralisation
