text search question

Hi

I have a varchar field to search. There are 5k records.

I'm using: WHERE name LIKE '%outer banks%'

It seems to be very slow. I was reading about full text searches.
Maybe I could do something like: WHERE MATCH ('name') AGAINST ('outer
banks')

I'm looking for a quick way to search.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
